The overall goal of the McMaster University Annual Review Course in Psychiatry is to help build capacity among front-line mental health providers related to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with mental health concerns.
The provision of mental health care primarily occurs in community and primary care settings, where a wide array of multidisciplinary team members, including family physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, psychologists, pharmacists, physician assistants, and psychiatrists, work together to meet the complex needs of patients with mental illness.
