Institute Goals and Overview
AACAP’s 2010 Psychopharmacology Update Institute is titled Child Psychopharmacology in the Era of Personalized Medicine. This year, the Institute has used previous year’s speaker evaluation forms to cull the most highly rated lecturers on each topic. They provide up-to-the minute, evidence-based updates on medication treatments for ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, psychotic disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and Tourette’s Disorder. Each speaker gears their talk to explain how your toolkit of evidence-based treatments can be tailored to the individual needs of different children and adolescents, balancing optimal reduction of psychiatric symptoms against the appearance of impairing adverse events. The educational goal is to enable the participants, by the end of the course, to describe methods for adjusting evidence-based medication interventions to the needs of their individual young patients.

Continuing Medical Education Credit
This course is one in a continuing medical education series under the direction of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry’s Institutes Subcommittee. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians. After going through the reaccreditation process, AACAP has achieved an Accreditation with Commendation status. This extends our accreditation period to a six year term. Only 6–8% of CME providers attain this status. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry designates this educational activity for a maximum of 13.75 hours in category 1 credit towards the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. For participants seeking non-AMA continuing education credits: A certificate of attendance is provided after the activity and can be submitted to the appropriate specialty organization to attempt to obtain reciprocal credits. CME credits are not available to those who purchase the course notebook or audio recordings without attending the meeting.
