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.
