2023 IPS Annual Meeting: Commitment to Patients, Commitment to Life

A Psychiatrist's Duty to Safeguard and Improve their Patients’ Lives.

Event has passed and registration is closed.

Psychiatrists have a duty to safeguard and improve their patients’ lives. Fulfilling this duty can entail many challenges, like working within a well-intentioned but flawed, mental health system while still trying to safeguard their own well-being in order to provide the highest quality of care.

Educational sessions will cover the latest on suicide prediction and prevention, the mental health court system in IL, and physician well-being and burnout. Other highlights include IPS’ first poster session, a presentation of the inaugural winner of the Carl Bell award, and our annual awards dinner! Join us to explore what it means to have a commitment to our patients and to life.
