2024 IPS Annual Meeting:
Extending Our Reach: Building the Psychiatry Workforce of the Future
Saturday, October 5
Holiday Inn Countryside
6201 Joliet Road, Countryside, IL 60525
ABOUT:
Psychiatrists have been in short supply for as long as most of us can recall. Even prior to the pandemic, workforce projections estimated that we would likely still be functioning at a deficit by the year 2050. Yet, the pandemic only heightened the need for psychiatric care. How then, do we extend our reach as psychiatrists to ensure quality mental health care for a population with growing needs?
Join us at the IPS Annual Meeting as we focus on Extending Our Reach: Building the Psychiatry Workforce of the Future. We’ll learn together about mental health expansion efforts through the Illinois Behavioral Health Workforce Center, how to best partner with advanced practice providers so that psychiatrists and APPs are both practicing at the top of their scope and providing quality patient care, and what it means to be a general psychiatrist in the current practice environment.
We’ll also be hosting our annual poster competition and Awards Dinner, We will welcome both our keynote speaker, APA President, Dr. Ramaswamy Viswanathan who will open the meeting, and APA President-Elect, Dr. Theresa Miskimen Rivera who will speak at our awards dinner. We’ll be recognizing our outstanding members, as well as the second annual recipient of the Carl C. Bell Award. Come socialize with your fellow members as we all learn together and celebrate the accomplishments of our organization and our members!
Registration for this event is now closed.

What If We Trained All General Psychiatrists to Be General Psychiatrists? Shaping Education for Public Health Needs
Adam M. Brenner, M.D.
Editor-in-Chief, Academic Psychiatry; Professor of Psychiatry and Distinguished Teaching Professor; Vice Chair for
Education and Residency Training Director in Psychiatry; University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
About this session: In the face of surging public mental health challenges, we should rethink the identity and training of
general psychiatrists.

In the Same Sandbox: Effective Working Relationships with PAs and ARNPs
Rebecca Lundquist, MD, DFAPA
Program Director of the Broadlawns-UnityPoint Psychiatry Residency
About this session: Despite many new psychiatry residencies and multiple new medical schools opening in the last few years with more to
come, it has become clear that there will not be enough psychiatrists in the U.S. to serve the needs of our population in any of our lifetimes. The
PA and NP roles were designed decades ago to be utilized very differently than we use them today. It is time to begin to have crucial
conversations about both the volumes of care needed as well as quality and safety of care provided.
