Psychiatry in 2026
Details
This six-session course will provide an overview of Adult Psychiatry in 2026. Starting with a general introduction to psychiatry as a medical specialty and within the range of mental health professions, we will explore the process of psychiatric assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Additional topics will include discussing the Mental Health Act, competency to make treatment and financial decisions, and controversies surrounding MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) both in general and as this may extend to those suffering from mental disorders. As an in-person course, the goal is to engage learners in discussion rather than a lecture-based format.
