If SwitchRx has helped support your decision-making around medication switching, PsychedUp CME is an ideal next step in expanding your clinical expertise. PsychedUp CME was created by Dr. Diane McIntosh to give front-line health care professionals the practical, real-world psychiatric education many feel they never received in training but rely on every day in practice.
PsychedUp CME is built around a simple promise: to make psychiatric continuing medical education clinically relevant, engaging, and immediately useful. Dr. McIntosh often says that patients count on their health care professionals to be at the leading edge when diagnosing mental illness or switching psychotropic medications, and PsychedUp CME is designed to help ensure that happens. The courses combine clear teaching, case-based examples, and interactive learning to help participants strengthen their diagnostic skills and build confidence in prescribing and switching complex medications.
What sets PsychedUp CME apart is its focus on the realities of front-line care. These programs were specifically created for family physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists who manage mental health conditions regularly and want to deepen their understanding of how to provide safe, effective, and compassionate care. Every session is grounded in evidence-informed practice, delivered with practical clarity, and shaped by Dr. McIntosh’s decades of experience working with patients and educating clinicians.
The curriculum spans a broad range of topics that reflect the challenges health care professionals face today, including insomnia management, psychopharmacology updates, depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, adult ADHD, cannabis and psychedelic medicine, and obesity management in psychiatry. Each course is designed to give participants both the scientific foundation and the practical tools needed to make confident treatment decisions.
PsychedUp CME programs are certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 132 Mainpro+ credits, making them a valuable opportunity to fulfill continuing education requirements while gaining skills that can be applied immediately in practice.
Whether you are looking to refine your diagnostic approach, strengthen your prescribing skills, or simply feel more confident in your ability to guide patients through medication decisions, PsychedUp CME offers meaningful, high-quality education led by one of Canada’s most respected psychiatric educators.
