ADHD in Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry- A Clinical Approach

The ADHD Syndrome has been ignored in Adolescent and Adult Medicine and Psychiatry in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific Region over the past 40 years. In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in community awareness of the ADHD Syndrome across the Asia Pacific Region, and in concert, a dramatic increase in the demand for medical services for those with ADHD Lived Experience. As a consequence, there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for Health Practitioner education and training in the ADHD field.

This online course is primarily designed for professionals working with those with ADHD Lived Experience in adolescents and adulthood. The emphasis of the course is in the assessment, diagnosis and management of ADHD including the management of ADHD in the context of psychiatric comorbidity. With the knowledge gained, graduates will demonstrate a high level of competence in both straightforward cases and complex and 'difficult to treat' cases. The program is essential for clinicians working in Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry, Perinatal, Psychogeriatric and Liaison Psychiatry fields. The program is suitable for 'Prescribing Clinicians '– Psychiatrists, Psychiatry Registrars, Developmental Paediatricians, Geriatricians, General Practitioners with a Mental Health background and Clinical Nurse Practitioners. 

Please note: The student registration rate includes medical practitioners in specialist training.
