BOZEMAN - This spring, Montana State University's College of Nursing and Extended University offer a series of recorded Webinars designed for primary care providers who offer mental health care in their practices but who are not mental health professionals.

 

Topics cover conditions that often present in the primary care setting: Diagnostics; Pharmacotherapy; Depressive Disorders; Anxiety Disorders; Bipolar Disorders; Cognitive Disorders in the Older Adult; and Managing Neurobehavioral Crises. All Webinars are led by licensed medical professionals, and participants can earn continuing education units from the Montana Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.

 

The Webinars are available from Feb. 1 through March 16; participants must register by Feb. 17, but may view the Webinars at any time. Each lasts about 2 hours. The cost is $25 each.

 

For course descriptions and to register, visit eu.montana.edu/professional.  The Webinars are listed under "Mental Health."
