HOTEL RESERVATIONS
TSCAP has negotiated a small block of rooms with a heavily discounted room rate of $239 for reservations placed BEFORE June 26th. (Public rates that weekend are over $700 per night!) Please book your room as soon as possible because once our group block is filled, we will not be able to receive additional rooms from the hotel. It is an extremely popular resort in the summer, and will sell out. To take advantage of this excellent rate, visit https://book.passkey.com/e/50769997
Booking a room within the TSCAP room block is an important way to support TSPP and helps to keep the overall meeting registration fee and costs as low as possible. Booking “outside of the TSCAP block” or at another hotel could expose TSCAP to monetary damages for hotel room block attrition, which may then necessitate an increase in future meeting registration rates. Plus, staying in the hotel keeps you connected with all the activities and networking opportunities during the event. Please book your room at the Kalahari Resort hosting the meeting and within the TSCAP room block as early as possible.
CME SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The CME Scientific Program will be held on Saturday and Sunday, for a total of 8.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

CME PROGRAM OBJECTIVES / TARGET AUDIENCE This live activity has been designed with didactic lectures supplemented with panel discussion, clinical vignettes, audiovisual presentations, case presentation and discussion in multiple educational sessions. The program is designed to provide its target audience of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, Adult Psychiatrists, Pediatricians and Primary Care Physicians with clinically relevant information to advance the physicians’ competence so that they may develop strategies to apply the knowledge, skills and judgement from the educational activity into their practice. Physicians often encounter patients that have both psychiatric and neurologic symptoms related to a single etiology. These conditions are inherently complex and often require additional considerations and collaboration between specialties. The objectives of this program aim to equip the attendees with the ability to better assess and care for patients with a variety of diagnoses, treatment options, and special needs.
IDENTIFIED PRACTICE GAPS / NEEDS ASSESSMENT TSCAP has incorporated into this CME activity the relevant educational needs concerning competence that underlie the professional practice gaps of our participants.
