The second session in PALTmed's Clinical Hits Track will cover two clinical topic updates:

This session will include updates on neuromodulation, psychedelic therapy and newly approved drugs for psychiatric disorders. This will be followed by a review of common electrolyte abnormalities encountered in clinical practice, with a focus on recognition and practical interpretation. It will also clarify what the basic metabolic panel (BMP) includes to support more accurate clinical decision-making.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
  • Identify emerging digital mental health technologies and describe their potential benefits and limitations in long-term care settings.
  • Summarize recent advances in pharmacologic and neuromodulation approaches for treating psychiatric disorders in older adults.
  • Discuss how precision psychiatry integrates genetic, biomarker, and behavioral data to personalize mental health interventions across long-term care populations.
  • Define what the BMP is (and is not).
  • Elucidate common electrolyte abnormalities found in our population.
