This course is designed to educate participants about severe mental health disparities that adversely affect blacks, Latinos, the poor, children, the elderly and persons with developmental disabilities (Kim et al., 2017). More specifically, will address disparities relative to a shrinking pool of psychiatric providers (McBain et al., 2019) and a shift toward the prescription of psychoactive medications by nonpsychiatric physicians with minimal training in mental health. Scope of practice legislation that allow specialty trained psychologists (Lincoln. 2018, APA, 2019 and Brown et al., in press) is an essential ingredient in helping to narrow the problem to access to service experienced by these minority groups.
Learning Objectives
1. Participants will identify three reasons for health disparities in certain minority groups relative to access of trained mental health prescribers.
2. Participants will demonstrate the ability to describe the training in psychopharmacology as it pertains to a new specialty area within psychology as of 2020
3. Participants will demonstrate the ability to describe how specialty training in clinical psychopharmacology is consistent with current licensing law in California.
4. Participants will demonstrate the ability to recount how specialty training and the success of a California scope of practice law for prescriptive authority could help reduce the severe shortage of qualified prescribers.
Course Level: Intermediate
Target Audience: Licensed psychologists, Psychiatrists, Physicians, graduate students in psychology, Allied Mental Health Professionals
