Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry 2019

Welcome to the Annual Meeting site for the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry. The Annual Meeting will be held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina on November 13-16, 2019

Our Academy President Rebecca Weintraub Brendel, MD, FACLP, has chosen the meeting theme, The Future of the Subspecialty, which will lay the foundation for an exciting program. This meeting is designed to highlight topics related to new clinical developments; medications, treatments, technology, research and education in our subspecialty. 

We have invited the Academy’s top experts and speakers to present on high-impact and important topics in Consultation Liaison Psychiatry with a focus on the future of the subspecialty;  Watch for Presidential Symposia on topics such as Women’s Mental Health, Integrative Medicine and Cardiology, Transplant Psychiatry  and Cancer care. These sessions and others will be presented throughout the meeting, and all are welcome.

This year, we have developed a SIG early career and trainees track where presentations will be selected for mentorship by senior ACLP members. This process will bring mentorship to action; and engage multiple levels of our membership in development of great presentations for  the meeting.  

We hope you will plan to stay until the end of the meeting on Saturday, November 16. This will be an especially exciting day with an outstanding meeting closing session hosted by our special guest, Carol Bernstein, MD, to celebrate the Past, Present and Future of the Academy with some of our past Academy Presidents. This presentation will be followed by a reception lunch celebration for attendees to eat, drink, unwind and socialize.
