Learn to identify at–risk patients needing referrals for mental health assessment and treatment. We’ll also share insight into frequent types of malpractice claims filed against psychiatrists and how non–psychiatrists may be at risk when unaware a patient is under psychiatric care.

While traditional medical education has focused only on the human patient, over time we’ve recognized the profound influence environment and animals have on human health. By looking at the whole picture rather than individual pieces, an approach called “One Health,” we can be more effective not only at preventing human disease, but also at creating a sustainable planet for all life. Our guests will discuss examples of “One Health” challenges and describe how bringing this mindset into our clinics, societal actions and policy is vital as we face challenges from COVID–19 to avian influenza.
