The recognition and management of mental and physical illnesses occurring together is a major challenge for medicine of the 21st century. Comorbidity worsens the prognosis of both comorbid disorders unless a correct diagnosis is made early and treatment for both conditions provided simultaneously. The current trend of fragmentation of medicine makes the challenge of comorbidity even more serious.
This 4th edition of the EPA Academia Summer School will be led by a renowned faculty including Prof. Sartorius, Prof. Lauber, Dr. Parmentier and Dr. Hanon. It is tailored for psychiatrists and other medical specialists interested in comorbidity between mental and physical disorders who are either trainees or within 2 years of completion of specialist training, and who are residing in a country that form part of the World Health Organisation Europe region.
The application system will open mid-November 2013 and the
deadline for applications is 15 February 2014. Up to 25 best applications will be selected by the Jury to receive a Scholarship from EPA to attend the Summer School.
