Careful – the locals hate it when you call it “San Fran”…. But San Francisco will hold the Association for Psychological Science (APS) psychology and mental health conference from May 23-26, 2024.
Many of us are always trying to get more continuing ed credits. APS’s convention has a ton of great continuing ed opportunities in a fun and vibrant city. And conferences help you get a lot in one shot! Trainings range from theory behind new and existing therapies to what certain statistics mean. Additional intriguing talks on cutting edge research and concepts rounds out many conference events.
APS is still accepting applications for trainers and compiling trainings. But check back to see their many interesting and cutting edge training topics! Most states allow these trainings to apply to multiple degrees in mental health, not just psychology (check your individual state boards)!
Pros: Many of the trainings at APS’s psychology and mental health conference are based on cutting edge research and are very high quality. They are especially beneficial to research-oriented clinicians, researchers, or those seeking new info in highly specialized areas. Trainings are typically led by individuals with some pretty impressive credentials and experience.
Limits: Many topics at this conference overall are highly theoretical and, at times (though not always), there is less discussion of applications to clinical practice.
A great conference in a great city. And for clinicians out there who like to explore the city a conference is in more than the conference itself, this one has some of the most famous things to see.
