Content

The Summit is an application-based continuing pharmacy education (CPE) activity designed to advance the knowledge and improve competency of participants through the delivery of evidence-based presentations on emerging areas of practice and contemporary issues in psychiatric pharmacy. This two-day, interactive, virtual conference provides knowledge and tools to improve the comprehensive care of patients with mental health disorders. The content is valuable to all psychiatric pharmacists regardless of the practice setting.
