Why are you considered the "gold standard" of psychiatry CME?
Directions in Psychiatry has served the psychiatry community for more than 40 years with exemplary content, authoritative presentations, and expert faculty from across the professional spectrum. More than 3 million credit hours have been awarded and our learners have relied upon us year after year for most of their careers.

How are you different from other CME activities?
Directions in Psychiatry was developed by a psychiatrist, Frederic Flach, MD who recognized a need for efficient, engaging, and effective CME programming for his colleagues. The formula was to provide a broad base of topics, keep the presentation concise and essential, and work with the best in the psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and medicine. This process remains to this day.

How do you choose your topics?
Topics are selected through a unique feedback cycle that includes our Advisory Board, editorial team, faculty, and your peers. We routinely solicit for areas of need and knowledge gaps, while also addressing the impact of current CME presentations.
