When you look at the agenda for the in-person 2025 APA Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, it is easy to see that there’s education for every level of psychiatry, from students to lifelong learners.

No matter where you are in terms of career level or experience, you can find knowledge and skills to level up your clinical practice. And there is no better way to level up than participating in one of our ten featured Master Courses.

The paid Master Courses are full-day, in-depth events within the event. Multiple expert faculty lead each Master Course in a hands-on way. All day long, they focus on deep, actionable knowledge to enhance your practice around real-world, everyday topics and challenges.
