Fresh Clinical Insights to Inspire Your 2026 Elevate Experience


In a rapidly evolving field, progress happens when new ideas meet passionate voices. Across the country, clinicians are reshaping psychiatric care with practical strategies, deeper understanding, and sharper clinical focus.

Here are a few conversations from the Psych Congress Network that are already making an impact — and connect directly to the kinds of sessions you'll see on the Psych Congress Elevate 2026 agenda:
Kempf and Meyer - PCN
Q&A: Avoiding Anticholinergics in TD and Deprescribing Approaches
Featuring Brooke Kempf, MSN, PMHNP-BC, and Jonathan Meyer, MD

For patients with tardive dyskinesia (TD), anticholinergic medications are not only ineffective but can worsen symptoms — and deprescribing them requires strategy, patience, and shared decision making. In this discussion, the clinicians break down the neurobiology behind why anticholinergics fall short and offer deprescribing approaches grounded in real-world practice.

Why this matters for Psych Congress Elevate 2026: Deprescribing requires the same intention and clinical precision as prescribing. At Elevate 2026, "Deprescribing in Psychiatry: Tapering Antidepressants with Intention, Evidence, and Empathy" with Saundra Jain, MA, PsyD, LPC, and Bryan Shapiro, MD, explores evidence-based tapering strategies and how to maintain patient trust throughout medication reduction. Elevate brings together both the science and the human side of safe deprescribing.
 
Kaftarian PCN
Video: Maintaining HIPAA Compliance and Protecting Patient Data via Telehealth
Featuring Edward Kaftarian, MD

As telehealth becomes an essential model of care delivery, clinicians must navigate privacy, security, and regulatory compliance to protect patient information. This video highlights practical considerations and safeguards that clinicians can apply to strengthen compliance and trust in virtual care.

Why this matters for Psych Congress Elevate 2026: As telepsychiatry becomes standard practice, compliance and clinical excellence must go hand in hand. At Elevate 2026, "Psychiatry Without Walls: How Telemedicine Is Reshaping Care" with Edward Kaftarian, MD, and Rebecca DePalma, DMSc, PA-C, explores how to build rapport, conduct effective assessments, and deliver patient-centered care in virtual settings. Elevate equips you with both the regulatory awareness and practical communication strategies needed to thrive in digital practice.
