CBT for Anxiety in Adult Primary Care
Audience
Primary care providers: Family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants
Description
Participants will learn how to effectively use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help adults who suffer from anxiety. The experienced faculty team includes one mental health professional and one primary care provider.
Like all REACH courses, CBT for Anxiety follows a format based on research on adult learning. It has two components:
- A dynamic full-day workshop focused on building knowledge, skills, and confidence in using CBT for anxiety.
- Four follow-up conference calls in which participants present cases from their practice to solidify their learning and put it into practice. Each call lasts one hour.
Participants can earn up to 11.25 CME credits for both components.
Course Goals
In this course, participants will learn to:
- Identify and understand the core components of anxiety.
- Screen and assess for anxiety in primary care settings.
- Summarize the key components of CBT for anxiety.
- Treat anxious patients using evidence-based CBT techniques.
