CME Course
for Primary Care Physicians
Psychopharmacology continuing medical education designed for PCPs who prescribe psychiatric medications — or who need to recognize when to refer. Evidence-based, clinically practical, authored by an MD/PhD psychiatrist.
Psychopharmacology for
primary care providers
Primary care providers prescribe the majority of psychiatric medications in the United States — often without specialized training in psychopharmacology. This course fills that gap with practical, evidence-based content designed for the clinical realities of primary care.
Dr. Farkas draws on her MD/PhD in neuroscience and clinical psychiatric experience to deliver content that is both neurobiologically grounded and immediately applicable to patient care decisions you face weekly.
Who this course is for:
- Primary care physicians managing patients on psychiatric medications
- Internal medicine physicians seeing complex patients on multiple psychotropics
- Nurse practitioners and physician assistants prescribing in psychiatric contexts
- Any provider wanting to identify when psychiatric referral is warranted
Topics covered:
- When to diagnose depression vs. bipolar disorder — and why it matters for prescribing
- Antidepressant selection, dosing, and management of partial response
- Recognizing treatment-resistant depression and appropriate referral
- Safe prescribing of psychiatric medications in the elderly
- ADHD in adults — evaluation, stimulant prescribing, monitoring
- Medication safety in pregnancy and postpartum
