Course description
Healthcare professionals often encounter patients with depression in their practice. Despite using first-line treatments, a significant portion of these patients may not respond, leading to a phenomenon known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This complex issue presents a unique challenge to providers, often leaving them uncertain of the next steps. Coupled with the introduction of new therapies like esketamine and others that require proper understanding for effective use, there is a clear need for healthcare professionals to be updated on the latest treatment options and strategies for TRD. This course is designed to address this need, providing comprehensive training to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills to confidently manage patients with TRD, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
