There will be concurrent afternoon breakout tracks to choose from when you register:

Track A: Novel Approaches in Psychiatry: Let's Discuss Psychedelics (1.5 CME hours) and Advances in Interventional Psychiatry (1.5 CME hours)

Track B: Opioid Analgesics: Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Training. This 3-hour training incorporates the updated FDA blueprint into practical education designed to help clinicians improve the quality of care and reduce the pain of their patients.
* For those members needing to complete the newly mandated California State Medical Board 12-hour CME requirement on pain management, we are offering a 3-hour CME breakout track on Opioid Analgesics: Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) training that qualifies to meet 3 hours of that mandate.
