Essentials of Evidence-Based Assessment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | IN PERSON AND ONLINE VIA ZOOM | REGISTRATION REQUIRED | 3 CE HOURS AVAILABLE FOR A FEE

During this course, participants will learn the fundamental components of assessing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Participants will learn to conduct a hands-on evidence-based evaluation and develop confidence in administering the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), the gold standard instrument in the evaluation of OCD. Participants will learn to engage in a thoughtful differential diagnosis process that will help inform and guide case formulation and treatment planning.

This is a hybrid event. Please see the registration page for instructions on accessing the workshop via Zoom.
