Considered the premier psychiatry event of the year, the American Psychiatric Association's 2023 Annual Meeting takes place May 20–24 in San Francisco, CA. The Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital will have a strong presence at this year's event.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) hosts an annual meeting where psychiatrists and mental health professionals from around the globe gather to connect and discuss new research findings, treatment strategies, and identify barriers to psychiatric care.
APA 2023 takes place May 20–24 in San Francisco, CA, with a virtual attendance option. International colleagues will gather for five days of mental health programming, including over 600 educational sessions and 1,000 posters. Experts from the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital will present on a variety of cutting-edge topics, including treatment-resistant depression, pediatric bipolar disorder, healthcare provider well-being, and many more.
