Psych Congress PA Institute

The Psych Congress PA Institute is a premier educational event designed specifically for Physician Assistants (PAs) who practice in psychiatry and primary care. This immersive three-day program will take place in Orlando, United States, offering essential psychopharmacology training, diagnostic clarity, and clinical decision-making skills that PAs need to effectively manage a range of mental health conditions, including depression, mood disorders, and ADHD.

The event is a collaboration between the educational leaders of Psych Congress and the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA), providing a unique opportunity for PAs to receive psychiatry-specific education tailored to their career goals and scope of practice.

Attendees will benefit from core clinical content, leadership guidance, practical psychotherapy techniques, and strategies for enhancing their role in mental health care. The program is designed for psych PAs, those in primary care facing increasing mental health demands, and early-career PAs seeking a solid foundation in psychiatric training. It promises to foster a community of passionate peers and equip participants with the confidence and skills necessary to excel in the evolving landscape of mental health care.

The PA Institute stands out as the only conference exclusively tailored for PAs, offering cutting-edge education and hands-on skills development, all while promoting networking opportunities among professionals dedicated to advancing psychiatric care.

The agenda will include keynote presentations, workshops, and sessions focused on essential psychopharmacology, practical psychotherapy skills, and real-world strategies to effectively manage ADHD and mood disorders. Participants will engage with expert faculty and will have the chance to earn up to 15+ CME credits aligned with psychiatric and behavioral health practice.

The PA Institute is not just an educational gathering; it is an opportunity to grow professionally, strengthen clinical decision-making, and expand understanding of mental health treatment within both psychiatry and primary care settings. Whether looking to deepen their clinical skills or explore a future in psychiatry, attendees will find themselves in an intimate learning environment that fosters meaningful connections with fellow PAs who share similar goals and challenges.
