“The CAGP board is pleased this year to partner with the Division of Geriatric Psychiatry at the University of Toronto in order to assemble a lively and interactive program focusing on aspects of geriatric mental health from prevention to palliation. The Division of Geriatric Psychiatry has historically presented CME events geared towards family practitioners, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers and other allied health workers. With this year’s partnership, we combine the academic presentations of the CAGP with practical clinical presentations. The topics this year have been requested by attendees at several recent CAGP meetings, and we know that you find will our speakers’ approaches interesting and informative

Susan Mitchell is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and she will be providing the keynote address on the topic of palliative approaches in dementia. Nathan Herrmann, Professor of Psychiatry at University of Toronto will be giving a plenary presentation about side effects of antipsychotics in the elderly. The final plenary presentation will be an interactive discussion of behavioral approaches to the treatment of behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia, by Rob Madan, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.

We had an unprecedented number of applications for workshop presentations this year, and have chosen an excellent group of diverse workshops that will appeal to attendees of the various backgrounds. Workshop topics include a palliative approach to behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia, sexuality in dementia, cognitive behavioral approaches for patients with schizophrenia, and ethical issues in seniors’ outreach. Following up on last year’s theme of treatment-resistance, we have an update on approaches to treatment resistant depression in the elderly including transcranial magnetic stimulation. For non-psychiatrists, we have a workshop update on geriatric psychopharmacology including antidepressants, cholinesterase inhibitors and anticholinergic drugs. Finally, an exciting workshop will focus on education and the path towards geriatric psychiatry finally becoming a subspecialty.
