7 Reasons to Attend the 2010
Child & Adolescent
Master Psychopharmacology Course
Dear Colleague,
I would like to share with you seven reasons to attend The 2010 Child & Adolescent Master Psychopharmacology Course in San Francisco, September 12-14, 2010.
Reason #1: World-Renowned Faculty Act as
Your Master Consultants
We’ve recruited the top experts in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry today to provide you with the most practical and up-to-date medical knowledge possible. This faculty (including Drs. Kiki Chang, Richard Rubin, Benedetto Vitiello, Anotonio Hardan and others) will be speaking bias-free, as the 2010 Child & Adolescent Master Psychopharmacology Course by policy refuses pharma sponsorship.
We’ve brought together these world-renowned faculty members for one reason only: to act as your Master Consultants. They will be available to answer your specific questions and provide youwith the most practical, immediately actionable prescribing guidance possible.
To meet this objective, your time with each expert is broken down into three highly-focused segments:
- 1. Lecture Component: Each faculty member presents high-yield and up-to-date information on their respective topic. These lectures concentrate on the most current treatment algorithms, standard-of-care assessments and detailed advice for prescribing individual medications.
- 2. Case Vignette Component: In order to put the information into actionable form, each faculty member will present a series of complex case vignettes and lead you and the rest of the audience to a resolution of the challenges that each of these cases present.
- 3. Extensive Q&A Session: Each of our faculty members is truly an expert in their field. This is your opportunity to pick their brain - they literally become your master consultant. So please be ready to ask your tough questions and get practical "down-in-the-trenches" actionable answers.
Reason #2: Free Bonus Lecture: Legal Armor: How to Avoid Medical Malpractice Hell
Did you know that when you treat a patient who is a minor, a child's medical malpractice claim does not have to be filed in many states until two years after the child's 18th birthday? That means the uncertainty of a lawsuit can hang over you for years or decades into the future with each patient you treat.
Now I am giving you a way to protect yourself and to live with a much higher level of security and comfort. We have retained Mr. William Stilling, JD, an experienced medical malpractice defense attorney to come to tell you how to protect yourself - and to stop doing some things that may be placing you at risk whether or not you realize that they're risky and avoidable! His three-hour presentation will allow plenty of time to present a detailed "how-to" lecture as well as to address your questions regarding any type of medical-legal concern you may have.
In my opinion, this presentation is so crucial to your career success that it's worth the entire cost of attending the 2010 Child & Adolescent Master Psychopharmacology Course. Don't believe me? Just think how one small tip from this accomplished attorney - out of the many you'll learn - could possibly save you from a painful confrontation with the legal system.
Reason #3 : Earn Up To 17 hours of AMA / PRA CME Credit
Your CME's are included in the tuition of the 2010 Child & Adolescent Master Psychopharmacology Course. Nothing additional to buy! Note that many employers, group practices and training programs will reimburse you for the costs of a Cat 1 CME activity. If you're not sure if yours does, it's worth finding out. And also check if you have any remaining 2010 educational funds left.
Reason #4: Receive a Diploma
With your attendance, you will receive a Diploma signifying your successful completion of the 2010 Child & Adolescent Master Psychopharmacology Course. Hanging on your office wall, it will be an effective communication tool, letting your patients know that you are a clinician who takes your education seriously. It lets people know that you are up-to-date with the new developments in your field.
Reason #5: The 100 + 100 Guarantee!
I am so confident that you will find The 2010 Child & Adolescent Master Psychopharmacology Course beneficial, that if in your judgment you do not, simply tell us by the end of the course and you will receive 100% of your tuition plus an additional $100. No questions asked and no hard feelings!
Frankly, I think you will love this course and I want you to join us. That's why I'm willing to take the risk upon myself. Does that sound fair to you?
Reason #6: Save $400 When You Register!
If you register by August 31, 2010, the tuition for this 3-day intensive course is only $695, a $400 dollar discount from the full tuition of $1095. Of course, since this course is limited to 150 participants, I expect it to sell out many weeks prior to the end of the discounted tuition. .
So, if you’re tempted to wait until later to register, please reconsider. The number of seats is limited and this is a great course, in a great location, for a great tuition. And the extra special bonus presentation, Legal Armor: Protect Yourself From Medical Malpractice Hell, is included for no additional cost! I fully expect this course to sell out early, just as our Adult MPP course (held in March 2010) did.
So when you’re done reading this, click on the register now button below and be done registering in about 90 seconds. Then you can rest assured you have your spot saved for you.
Reason #7: San Francisco Is Simply
Beautiful in September!!
Although a lot of learning will take place at The 2010 Child & Adolescent Master Psychopharmacology Course, it is also a well-deserved opportunity to take in the sights of San Francisco. If you've never been there, then this is a great opportunity to acquaint yourself with this most interesting of the cities in the USA. And if you’ve been to SF before, then you know what a great destination it is. Remember that Tony Bennett song? Why not come join us and you too can leave your heart in San Francisco!
Since we designed the course to give you plenty of time for sightseeing and relaxing, come alone or with your significant other – this is a city for romance, after all. Any way you come, you’ll have a great time.
Take care and see you in San Francisco!
Sincerely,
Jack Krasuski, MD
Executive Director & Chief Medical Editor

Over more than 20 years of practice, I have attended many psychopharmacology courses (including Stqahl’s Baldessarini’s, Yale CME, US Psychiatric Congresses and more). The Master Psychopharmacology course was one of the very best I have ever experienced. Thank you. Sharon Drakos, MD Branford, CT Dr. Krasuski’s courses have made me a better person and psychiatrist. Imagine the perfect CME Course full of Practical Clinical Pearls in many areas (Psychopharmacology, drug interactions, real time review, categories with practical treatment tools, drugs to use and avoid--especially in tough treatment areas, pregnancy, legal risk, metabolic syndrome, multisubstance reference, etc). Well done! Dr. K’s courses are never a waste of time, but a streamlined time saver! Elizabeth Stuller, MD Baltimore, MA This is a very complete course. It has increased my clinical confidence. I feel like a more complete psychiatrist. Naveer Thomas, MD Wilmington, NC Great opportunity to review core Psychopharmacology and get updates on current literature. The opportunity to talk with people who are experts with a lot of experience in their field was invaluable! The staff was courteous and friendly as well. Joshua Morganstein, MD Silver Spring, MD It was a breath of fresh air to attend a Psychopharmacology Conference without any pharmaceutical sponsorship. I didn’t need to worry whether the speaker would “downplay” the side effects of the medications that were discussed. It was also pleasing to hear about treatments whose patents expired long ago. Angelo Ferraro, MD Melbourne, Australia These courses are great. They provide a comprehensive review and keep you on the “cutting edge” of the research and clinical practices in our field. I was most impressed with the lectures on Sleep Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, and Adult ADHD--very difficult disorders to accurately diagnose and adequately treat. Very practical and clinically relevant information. Kenya Alexander, MD Detroit, MI Thoughtful comprehensive review delivered by knowledgeable thought leaders with good clinical information to impart. Jody Whitehouse, MD Philadelphia, PA Very relevant. Touched on key topics to help you grow as a clinician! Edgar Vizcaino, MD Garden City, KS Very Good! Thanks! Oxana Matsenko, MD Fair Lawn, NJ This course not only updates your medical knowledge, but also increases your confidence when assessing and treating your patients. Marlon Vazquez, MD SanJuan, PR It was well organized. Wealth of information. This conference is really worth attending. See you next year! Stephen Rodrigo, MD Sonnybank Hills, QLD Great work and I believe all psychiatrists are glad to be here. Nazar Al-Saidi, MD Haslett, MI Excellent experience! The best part: staff and presenters made it a relaxed an educational experience. Enjoyed and learned. Thanks. Syed Hasan, MD Carmel, IN Solid review of current and upcoming data that allows the practitioner apply best practices, treatment guidelines to his/her day to day practices. Kerri Husman, MD Cedar Rapids, IA The course was excellent. It provided information that I can use in my daily profession. Matthew Risko, MD Indiana, PA Dr. Jack does a good job! He is always available for questions and concerns. Jacob Samander, MD Port St. Lucie, FL Very well organized and clear. Hilda Castilla, MD Elmwood Park, NJ A perfect melding of theory and actual practice course! All presenters are highly qualified and more impressively, very approachable and generous with their time! Thanks! Winston Pineda, MD LaGrange, GA I have had so many new ideas and clarity on issues that I plan to reorganize my practice significantly from the three days of lecture. Mobolaji Oyebanjo, MD Villa Rica, GA I appreciated receiving specific advice on prescribing practices. I could think of specific patients in my practice that would benefit from these tips. This course gave me confidence in my ability to offer true best possible psycopharmacy treatments to my patients. Joshua Rosenthal, MD Columbia, MD Well worth the time and money and a great excuse to get away to a warm vacation spot. Matthew Sharpe, MD Rochester, NY I think this was very educational. Informative and very organized Psychiatry and Psychopharmacology Course. This has also impacted my practice--new information and updates on Pharmatherapy. It was an excellent course. I will ask/tell my other colleagues to attend such courses by Jack Krasuski, MD as they have helped many psychiatrists. Krisham Lassi, MD Manhattan, KS I have found Dr. Krasuski’s courses to be quite valuable, organized relevant and packed with information. I highly recommend his board review courses. Esteban Fuertes, MD Santa Maria, CA This course is very thorough on subjects presented with very practical, hands-on treatment options as well as major medical legal issues. Tadeusz Rachwal, MD New Britain, CT Effectively updates your psychopharmacology knowledge base! Eryn Oberlander-Mandel, MD Great Neck, NY Highly recommend to all new psychiatrists. Helps to build up confidence in diagnosing, managing and prescribing treatment in your practice. Thanks Dr. Krasuski! Syyeda Syed, MD Boonsboro, MD Master of Psychopharmacology was excellent. Review of psychopharmacology and starting from basic to current was almost all covered in such a quick and simple way. All faculty members were so good and helpful. I would recommend to all psychiatrists to attend this valuable review to refresh knowledge and earn CME. Padma Lassi, MD Manhattan, KS I was unable to attend the course in Florida and so ordered the online version of the course. I found it very easy to access and utilize and was very satisfied with the course. Peggy Foster, MD, Winchester, OH This was a fantastic review of current treatment, FDA approvals and prescribing. Alison Sikes, MD Kalamazoo, MI Best home course available – excellent video/audio. Patricia Hudson, MD Albuquerque, NM This course has improved my knowledge of psychopharmacology and am sure will be helpful for the boards. Jisah Philip, MD Ridgewood, NY Appreciate the way material is simplified & easy to understand. Martha Gonzalez, MD Scottsdale, AZ I thoroughly enjoyed the home study version of this course – I will absolutely look for more of these in the future. Thomas O’Reilly, MD Medford Lakes, NJ I am impressed with API’s commitments to provide a unique educational experience. Great job! Francisco Torres, MD Harlingen, TX I have attended the board review courses for the Child Psychiatry boards. They were excellent prep courses targeted to specific high yield topics, yet very helpful in clinical practice. I keep on enjoying the blogs as nice refreshments and reminders.
