William Graft, MD, PGY3, Internal Medicine and Psychiatry Resident, Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals, will present ACLP’s webinar on Zoom this month:
Navigating Complexity: Somatic Symptom Disorder in the Context of Medical Comorbidity and Iatrogenic Trauma Wednesday, September 10, 12:30-1:00 PM EST
William Graft, MD
Dr. Graft will present a clinical case that exemplifies the complexities in diagnosing and managing a patient with somatic symptom disorder, multiple medical conditions, and a history of trauma.
Discussant is Thomas Heinrich, MD, FACLP, professor and vice-chair, Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, professor, Department of Family and Community Medicine.
The presentation and discussion will be followed by a live audience Q&A session moderated by David Fipps, DO, senior associate consultant in C-L, Transplant, and Bariatric Surgery Psychiatry at Mayo Clinic, assistant professor of psychiatry, Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine.
The case conference will provide trainees with an opportunity to learn about C-L Psychiatry and augment C-L Psychiatry education at their institutions. Attendees will learn how to present a case succinctly, observe how C-L psychiatrists work through diagnostic challenges, and appreciate management dilemmas that arise in C-L Psychiatry.
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.
