Description of CME Course
Practitioners in the field are required to work directly with clients to assess their needs and their symptoms, but typically their education is confined to textbooks and rarely do they get the opportunity to see the symptoms and behaviors demonstrated by a live patient. Oftentimes it is not until they are in clinical practice before they can put a human face to the mental disorder. Our case studies were designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice to provide better outcomes for practitioners and patients.
