  2. Illustrate the impact of SUDs on the prognosis and treatment course of psychiatric disorders. 
  3. Evaluate the literature describing the management of co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders. 
  4. Design pharmacotherapeutic plans for patients with a psychiatric disorder and co-occurring SUD.

The 2021 Substance Use Disorder Summit 2021 is an application-based continuing pharmacy education (CPE) activity designed to improve competency of partcipants. An application-based CPE activity requires that participants apply the information learned. In an application-based CPE activity, the learning objectives are written at a higher level in order to assess the learners’ ability to use the information that is learned at the current level of practice by Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacists. The examination for this product often features case studies requiring that the participant apply the principles learned through the readings
