Subspecialty areas in psychosomatic medicine make it more complicated to diagnose, treat, and refer patients with complex medical comorbidities. Providers need to provide best practice comprehensive psychiatric consultation evaluations with thorough consideration of psychiatric, medical, and psychosocial factors. The UPMC Psychosomatic Medicine Conference is a one-day meeting that will highlight local and regional talent in consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatry. Through dynamic speakers and experts in the field, it will provide an update on clinical care and research at the interface of psychiatry and other medical specialties. These will include primary care services, integrated care, the opioid epidemic and mindfulness, and special populations such as pediatrics, transgender care, psycho-oncology, and pain and psychiatry. The conference will give an up-to-date overview of community resources in addition to research studies in the area of psychosomatic medicine to enable participants to incorporate them into individual practice and discern their applicability to clinical care.
