Annual Psychopharmacology Review

Saturday, March 1, 2025
In-person at NYU & live-streamed

The pharmacological treatment of mental disorders continues to evolve as new drugs emerge and our understanding of the risks/benefits of existing therapies improves. The challenge facing clinicians treating patients with psychiatric disorders is how to use medications most effectively while balancing potential risks.

Our annual NYU Langone Health Psychopharmacology Review course will provide expert perspectives on issues of major public health concerns such as bipolar disorder, major depression, substance use disorders, schizophrenia, treatment/prevention of PTSD, and treatment of patients with ADHD, among other issues.

Psychedelic Medicine Review

Saturday, January 25, 2025
In-person at NYU & live-streamed

Our NYU Langone Psychedelic Medicine Review will provide an overview of contemporary psychedelic research with experts in the field, covering areas including basic science research, clinical trials of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, observational studies, and health policy considerations.

The past decade has seen an explosion of research and interest in possible clinical uses of psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, and MDMA. Psychedelic-assisted therapies have shown promise in treating mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and PTSD in randomized clinical trials, yet important questions remain regarding study methodology, safety, efficacy, and the role of co-administered non-drug therapies, and we must also consider issues of affordability and health disparities.
