Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds

Department of Psychiatry Grand Rounds

The UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds series (course number MGR25074) seeks to promote excellence and quality in clinical care; introduce clinicians to recent advances in medical care; provide updates on scientific advances that affect the practice of medicine; and provide a forum for discussion of topics that strengthen the relationship of psychiatry to the broader community.

UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds presentations are for educational purposes and intended only for behavioral/mental health professionals and clinical providers. Continuing education (CE) credit is available for physicians, psychologists, nurses, and therapists (LCSWs, LEPs, LMFTs, and LPCCs) who participate in this activity. Participants must sign in to be eligible to receive credit.
