New Reference Guide Available: "COVID-19 Resources for Psychiatrists & Other Health Care Professionals"
To say this has been a stressful, whirlwind week would be an understatement. We know that news and information have been thrown at you from all angles, and it can seem overwhelming to sort through the countless emails and websites. You've probably asked yourself a dozen times, "Where do I begin?"
To help you save time and get back to doing what you do best - caring for patients - NCPA has created a new reference guide, "COVID-19 Resources for Psychiatrists and Other Health Care Professionals." The purpose of this Google Doc is to serve as a "living," comprehensive information source. Spanning a wide range of topics and issues relevant across many practice settings, this guide will be continually updated as more changes are announced day by day, and sometimes minute by minute.
Disclaimer: Because this is such a rapidly evolving situation, please keep in mind that some information may be outdated by the time you read it. We are doing our best to update the document as quickly as possible.
