Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry:Advancing Integrated Psychiatric Care
for the Medically Ill

Thank you for visiting our website.

The Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is a professional organization of physicians who provide psychiatric care to people with coexisting psychiatric and medical illnesses, both in hospitals and in primary care. Our specialty is called consultation-liaison psychiatry because we consult with patients and liaise with their other clinicians about their care.

With nearly 2,000 members, the Academy is the voice of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the US with international reach.

Please browse our website, read our journal, Psychosomatics, and come to our annual meeting which is in November each year. In 2020 it will be a virtual event – see www.CLP2020.org for more details.

If you are a C-L Psychiatrist and not yet a member please join our great organization and welcoming, inclusive community. Please visit this page for details on joining.
