Conference Agenda

TIME TOPIC SPEAKER
8:00 – 8:15 AM Welcome/Introduction  
8:15 – 9:15 AM The History of Forensic Psychiatry
This engaging presentation will trace the line of conceptions of mental illness as it applies to criminal justice systems from ancient civilizations to modern times. At the end of the presentation, participants will be able to understand the concept of culpability for criminal acts and the history of the insanity defense and its connections to current standards.
Allegra Condiotte MD
9:30 – 10:30 AM Black Robes and White Coats:
Trends in forensic psychiatry While some aspects of the practice of forensic psychiatry have remained relatively stable over recent times, others are changing rapidly. Likewise, the changing political landscape, the crisis in drug use, enhanced appreciation of racial and cultural issues, and the awareness of effects of trauma have necessitated a greater understanding of key principles and application of mental health law (both here and abroad) and immigration law for non-forensic psychiatrists. In this presentation, Dr. Lopez will discuss current concepts and emerging practices in forensic psychiatry
Maya Lopez, MD, FAPA
10:45 – 11:45 AM Conference Panel:
Autonomy and Consent in Psychiatry Autonomy and consent are foundational to the treatment decisions we make every day, but at times it can be hard to identify whether a patient is legally or ethically capable of making decisions on their own behalf. How do we manage these situations? Hear from a panel of psychiatrists and a lawyer with experience managing complex consent and capacity concerns – from childhood to the end of life
Moderator: Mary McCarthy, MD, DLFAPA Panelists: Maya Lopez, MD, Karina Espana, MD, Jonathan “JR” Floriani, MD Mickey Logan, JD
12:00 – 1:00 PM Careful Conversations: Evaluating Risk for Political and Ideological Violence
This presentation will provide a basic overview of what is known about ideologically motivated violence in the United States and provide practical guidance for clinicians in evaluating and understanding people at the intersection of violence risk and extreme ideological beliefs. Practical guidance on navigating these turbulent waters will be offered.
Jack Rozel, MD DFAPA
1:00 – 2:00 PM Membership Meeting
2:15 – 3:15 PM Asylum Evaluations
This presentation will provide an overview of the standard evaluation of asylum seekers. The presentation will also discuss unique clinical issues which arise in this context and appropriate documentation and interprofessional communication practices.
Mikel Matto, MD
3:30 – 4:30 PM Documentation: The Next Level
This webinar will assist participants in best practices for documentation to evaluate and audit their own notes, ensure notes are documented contemporaneously with care to avoid omission of important and accurate information about care, as well as offer Psychiatrists strategies for best practice guidelines and elements for good documentation to avoid risk of liability.
