Continuing Education

We offer a robust, fully accredited continuing medical education (CME) program with dozens of educational opportunities for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and counselors each year.

Sheppard Pratt regularly hosts renowned speakers from across the country at our headquarters in Towson. We provide educational opportunities on subjects including psychiatric disorders, issues of behavioral health, systems-based change, mental and somatic co-morbidities, psychiatric effects on health and health outcomes, advances in neurobiology, and clinical developments in concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. We are accredited by the ACCME, the Maryland Nurses’ Association, the Maryland Board of Psychology, the Maryland Board of Social Work, and the NBCC.

All continuing education and professional training programming are live, in-person activities, and include:

A bi-monthly Wednesday Lecture Series, which is free and open to the public
Grand Rounds, which are free and open to all Sheppard Pratt Health System employees, residents, and fellows
Psychology workshops
Social work workshops
Eating disorders conferences

Our programming format allows our learners an opportunity to not only absorb new clinical information to improve competence and performance, but also allows them the opportunity to speak to world-renowned faculty face-to-face, while exchanging ideas and networking with colleagues.
