The EMED PRN Educational Programming Committee aims to present a review of patient considerations and medication options for the management of acute psychiatric emergencies and their appropriate use in practice. By understanding medication considerations and evidence-based regimens, participants will be able to develop and prepare individualized treatment recommendations for care in specific patient populations. The target audience includes emergency medicine practitioners and those practicing in mental health and critical care. This session will also provide a learning opportunity for pharmacy residents and students. Examples, polling questions, and case presentation will be used throughout the session to apply learned information. This topic was selected after surveying the EMED PRN for topics of particular interest and relevancy to the EMED clinical pharmacist and has been designed in collaboration with practitioners focused in mental health.
