This Med-Psych symposia series
2000 serves a threefold purpose. Firstly to promote and
advance the scientific understanding of the inter-relationship
among biological, psychological, social and behavioural
factors in human health care and disease. Then, to integrate
the fields of science that separately examine each of the
factors, and lastly to foster the application of this understanding
in education and health care.
Psychological disorders have
always been a significant prevalence in medical inpatients
and outpatients within the general population. When appropriately
assessed and intervened, it will result in a reduction of
overall morbidity, mortality and cost containment. Despite
sophisticated techno-medical advances, the need for psychiatric
/ psychological knowledge and skills will continue to be
strong.
Our aim is to bridge the medical
and psychiatric interfaces. To do so, we have selected five
separate topics of importance for discussion.
At its conclusion, participants
will have acquired proficiency in evaluating and treating
the medically ill and disabled patients. They will be cognisant
of possible treatment strategies and the use of appropriate
combinations of various pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies
for effective intervention and management.
