2025-2026 Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds, Course #26D04 - 8/28/2025

Thursday, August 28, 2025, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, Zoom Videoconference, Oklahoma City, OK

Psychiatry Grand Rounds provides continuing education for our faculty, trainees, and the public sector. We strive to enable discussion that is both about and involves the patients, so the physician can better understand the depth of a patient's mental illness. In this series, we explore the history of policies and procedures for handling mentally ill patients and what can be done to improve care and treatment they receive, as well as to better explain various forms of mental illness and how treatment should be approached and practiced by the clinician.

Overall Professional Practice Gaps: 
1. There is a gap in physicians' understanding of the prevalence of mental disorders in Oklahoma and recent
advances in understanding the pathophysiology, biological markers and evidence-based treatments.
2. There is a gap in physicians' understanding of the impact of and treatments for suicidal or incarcerated
patients with mental disorders.
3. A gap exists in physicians' understanding of efficacy and side effects of biological and psychotherapeutic
treatments of mental disorders.
