Neuropsychiatry Committee
The Committee focuses on the intersection between psychiatry and neuropsychiatry.
ABOUT OUR COMMITTEE
The Neuropsychiatry Committee aims to educate and inspire fellow psychiatrists to integrate current neuropsychiatric knowledge into their work.
We seek to enhance neuropsychiatric literacy, including an understanding of: brain-behavior relationships, neuropsychiatric disease, and neuropsychiatric approaches to assessment and treatment of patients. In addition, we work to demonstrate how this knowledge can be applied to other medical disciplines as well as to the arts and education. Further, our committee is committed to advancing the subspecialty of Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry.
