What sets CPI apart?

What sets CPI apart?

Chair of the APNA CPI Program Committee Joseph Holshoe, PMHNP-BC, explains what guides truly person-centered prescribing and how the APNA Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute supports it. Find out what sets CPI apart:

“As psychiatric-mental health nurses, we know that the most effective psychopharmacology is person-centered: driven by the need to understand the unique needs, life experiences, individual genetics and physiologies, and the environments in which our patients and peers live and work. The APNA Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute (CPI) is built on this principle and provides real-life, up-to-date, and actionable psychopharmacology education for psychiatric-mental health nurses and practitioners.

What to expect at CPI

“Here’s what CPI education is not: biased reviews of medications, one-size-fits-all algorithms, and ‘everything you need to know’ presentations that barely scratch the surface of the complexities of care.

“Instead, what sets CPI apart is that it is a psychopharmacology conference planned for nurses by nurses. It provides an in-depth exploration of the nuance, evidence, and ethical considerations that guide truly person-centered prescribing.

“As chair of the CPI Program Committee, I can assure you that our program is rooted in the realities of practice. Whether it’s the legal and documentation considerations we need to understand as providers, or the nuances of selecting the appropriate intervention to treat ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders for clients across the lifespan (both of which are topics you’ll find in this year’s program!), our program will challenge you and expand your horizons in psychopharmacologic care.

“I’m confident that our experience at CPI will be rich with peer-driven insight that will sharpen our clinical judgment, challenge our assumptions, and strengthen the care we deliver.”
