Advanced Psychopharmacology

COVID-19 Notice: In an effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19, avoid endangering the health of training attendees, and comply with mandated travel restrictions, PSI is currently providing training events virtually via Zoom webinar. If you are signed up for a training or have any questions email orrinbanta@postpartum.net.

The PSI Advanced Trainings provided via Zoom will adhere to Certification guidelines and meet the requirements for the advanced prerequisite for the exam application.


Perinatal Psychopharmacology Advanced Training

Postpartum Support International presents a 6-hour advanced course on psychiatric pharmacology during pregnancy and lactation, taught by perinatal psychiatric experts.  It is an interactive, case-based advanced seminar, covering differential diagnosis, medication challenges, case examples, research on medication safety, and your questions.  Participants should have previously completed at least 14 hours of perinatal mental health training.

This course is a pre-requisite for the perinatal mental health certification, in the psychopharmacology specialty. PSI’s two-day Perinatal Mood Disorders: Components of Care training or an equivalent fourteen-hour perinatal mood disorders certificate course is a pre-requisite for this advanced training. Please contact certification@postpartum.net with questions you may have about meeting the pre-requisite.
