We are thrilled to announce that our Virtual: Perinatal Psychiatry: Focus on Treatment Across Pregnancy and the Postpartum conference will be held on October 15, 2026.
This virtual one-day conference hosted through the MGH Psychiatry Academy will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric conditions before, during, and after pregnancy. As clinical decisions in this space require careful consideration of both medication exposure and the risks of untreated illness, this course offers practical, up-to-date guidance to support informed, collaborative care.
