Why Attend?
CPI is planned for nurses by nurses…
Timely
The APNA Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute (CPI) presents a state-of-the-science understanding of dimensions of psychopharmacologic nursing practice across the lifespan. The Institute focuses on complex clinical issues, addressing the most current practices and insights in clinical psychopharmacology.
Unique
The complexity of unique illness states or populations requires unique approaches that are more personal and consider the context and environments of persons you serve. CPI is unique in that it is a tailored specifically for psychiatric-mental health nurses by those who know their needs best – psychiatric-mental health nurses themselves.
Clinically Usable
The program goes beyond presenting medication algorithms and instead offers the scientific base from which treatment decisions are made, while also addressing aspects informing the context of care within the nurse/consumer/family relationship.
“For reliable, thought provoking, cutting-edge information with resources to have on hand, The APNA Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute is, by far, the very best!”
– Joan E. Schaper, MSN, APN
