The Children’s Telephonic Psychiatric Consultation Service (TiPS) is a program designed to increase the availability of peer-to-peer child psychiatry consultation teams to primary care clinicians (PCCs) who are prescribers of psychotropic medications for children insured by Pennsylvania’s Medical Assistance programs, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and UPMC commercial insurance. The program aims to provide real time resources to clinicians who desire consultative advice for children with behavioral health concerns.

The TiPS Behavioral Health and Pediatric Primary Care Conference will help PCCs understand the TiPS program and how to use it. Learning goals are directly related to behavioral health intervention, the use of psychotropic medication, and other pediatric psychiatry related topics. 

The full program agenda and details regarding continuing education credits is available here.

This is a Livestreaming Event. There is no charge to attend this conference, however registration is required.
