Learn About New Best Practices and Make your Voice Heard!
Bring your Lunch and attend the 2012 Practice Parameter Member Forum!

The practice parameters, published each year by AACAP, represent the collected wisdom, research and clinical practice in child and adolescent psychiatry. The Practice Parameter Member Forum is an opportunity to hear experts present on the latest in best practices then express your views and provide critical feedback to the Committee on Quality Issues as it prepares the new parameters for publication. Your comments are VERY important!

This year, the Forum features the following parameter drafts (subject to change):

•    Practice Parameter for the Assessment and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Eating Disorders, James Lock, M.D., Ph.D. and Maria C. La Via, M.D.

•    Practice Parameter for the Assessment and Treatment of Youth Involved with the Child Welfare System, Terry Lee, M.D., Rachel Brown M.B.B.S., and George Fouras, M.D.

The drafts are available for your review in September, by accessing the “Members Only” section of www.aacap.org, and at the Annual Meeting at the Member Forum, the Karl Menninger, M.D. Plenary, and other select sessions. You may also contact Jennifer Medicus in the AACAP Clinical Practice Department at 202.587.9670 or jmedicus@aacap.org for a copy.
