Language: English

Short Description: This course provides an overview of psychology and psychiatry, two medical specialties that focus on the treatment of mental health disorders. Additionally, practitioners in all medical specialty areas will interact with patients with mental health disorders.

Professionals may also obtain specimens for testing in some cases. It is essential for medical staff working in mental health specialty areas to have a basic understanding of the related diseases and disorders and diagnostic procedures.

Instructor Description: Though this course is self-paced, it is supported by a client adviser. Our client advisers are available to answer student questions and monitor student progress to ensure completion of the course.
