Description
The Time is NOW to Get Trained on DSM-5 Changes to Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders
Mental health professionals will be expected to accurately diagnose according to DSM-5 criteria by October 2014. Therefore, time is of the essence to get the appropriate training needed to ensure proper reimbursement by insurance companies and improved continuity of care with other professionals. Even those with non-diagnostic duties must continuously enhance their knowledge in order to review patient information and formulate treatment plans.
This webinar highlights the critical diagnostic updates to the psychotic disorders in the DSM-5. This includes criterion that have been changed, removal of subtypes, addition of specifiers, and new terminology used in schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. Participants have the opportunity to review a case study and make a determination about proper diagnosis.
