2023 Program Schedule

This schedule is subject to change at any time leading up to the conference.

This year NCPA is offering its first ever Pre-Conference, "Workplace Safety: Empowering Physicians and Supporting Healthcare Professionals"

"Workplace Safety: Empowering Physicians and Supporting Healthcare Professionals" is being offered as a direct, timely response to the recent occurrences of workplace violence against healthcare professionals. These sessions will work to destigmatize mental health and violence in healthcare, encourage advocacy for the safety of psychiatrists and other healthcare workers, and explore liability as it relates to discharging a patient due to safety concerns.

You are welcome to attend the Pre-Conference only or in addition to the Annual Meeting.
