EMPOWER: Education in Mental Health improves Patient Outcomes, Well-being, and Emotional Resiliency - Behavioral Mental Health Curriculum

APPD LESSON is excited to announce the release of our new interactive, online curriculum (EMPOWER: Education in Mental Health improves Patient Outcomes, Well-being, and Emotional Resiliency), focused on educating your pediatric residents on the diagnosis and clinical management of pediatric behavioral mental health (BMH) conditions.

This comprehensive program aims to enhance trainee knowledge and skills in diagnosing, initiating treatment, and managing three common pediatric mental health diagnoses: Depression, ADHD, and Anxiety. We will be adding additional content over the next several months and expect that the EMPOWER curriculum will continue to evolve and grow with the needs of our learners.  To that end, there are opportunities for users to give feedback within the modules and also at the end of the curriculum through a course evaluation.  We welcome and appreciate your feedback!

Key Features:

  • Flexible, self-paced modules
  • Content from BMH experts tailored for pediatric trainees
  • Case studies and knowledge checks within the modules
  • Pre-and post-test questions for the curriculum
  • Accessible anytime, anywhere
  • Ability to track resident progress and assessment scores
