The SMI Virtual Learning Collaborative trainings are multi-week, hands-on courses that are led by members of the SMI Adviser Clinical Expert Team and drill down on specific topics around serious mental illness. During each learning collaborative, mental health clinicians can participate in group calls, ask questions during virtual office hours, and share ideas on interactive discussion boards. The in-depth content and interactive access to faculty and peers helps clinicians build skills using a real-world, evidence-based approach; and translate skills directly from concept into actionable care for individuals who have SMI.
Watch for more Learning Collaborative Trainings in the coming weeks.
