Join us at the Westin Copley Place in Boston for the 51st Annual Psychopharmacology Conference, hosted by Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
For over five decades, this event has brought together leading experts and dedicated clinicians to advance the understanding and treatment of mental health conditions.
This year’s program continues our commitment to clinical depth, scientific rigor, and practical application. Topics include:
Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Anxiety
Psychosis and OCD
ADHD and PTSD
Substance Use Disorders
Integrative Approaches and Pharmacologic Innovations
Every session is designed to help you stay current on emerging research, examine evolving standards of care, and apply evidence-based strategies to complex clinical situations.
We offer Curbside Consultations—informal, scheduled opportunities to connect 1:1 with faculty members across a range of specialties. These conversations allow you to explore nuanced clinical questions or seek perspective on challenging cases (de-identified), all in a supportive and collegial format.
You can find the full schedule of Consultations in the agenda once made available.
