• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  In a podcast style discussion, Mike Corvino, PharmD and Cole Swanson, PharmD examine the management of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults. OCD is commonly comorbid with other psychiatric conditions and there is overlap between the treatment options. Pharmacists and nurses regularly encounter patients taking the associated medications. It is important that pharmacists and nurses understand the appropriate use of these medications and know how to identify patients who could benefit from them. This session seeks to explore these topics, focusing on how this information can best be incorporated into daily medical practice.
