The Adult Psychiatry ECHO Clinic helps primary care physicians throughout the state work more effectively with individuals seeking treatment for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and other mental health challenges. The weekly one-hour videoconferencing sessions include a didactic portion, and participating physicians will also have the opportunity to present cases for review and discussion. CME is available.

The clinics are conducted by secure videoconferencing under the direction of Jonathan Betlinski, M.D., clinical associate professor of psychiatry in the OHSU School of Medicine.

The 12-session ECHO series will cover the diagnosis, pharmacological, and non-pharmacological treatment of the following conditions:

• Major Depressive Disorder
• Bipolar Disorder
• Anxiety Disorder
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Adult Psychiatry I begins April 2 and runs through June 25.
