  • Organised by Psychiatry

This Mind Matters webinar will provide a valuable and extensive look into the clinical framework for neuromodulation techniques. Renowned experts in their fields will provide insight into the earliest and most invasive techniques through to non-invasive neuromodulation.

The activities on this webinar will help delegates to develop an adequate knowledge of the RDoC (Research Domain Criteria) approach, which is fundamental for a better understanding of neuroanatomy applied to neuromodulation. This event will also provide insight into the most current applications of neuromodulation techniques in OCD spectrum disorders and mood disorders, with a particular interest in compulsive, substance and behavioural addictions.

During this webinar you will:

  • Gain in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms underlying major neuromodulation techniques, including its neuroanatomical correlates.  
  • Recognize the indications required in order to recommend neuromodulation therapy.   
  • Distinguish between the different areas of application of different neuromodulation techniques.  
  • Acquire a basic understanding of the RDoC approach 

This is a part of the Mind Matters webinar series presented by the RSM Psychiatry section. This webinar is CPD accredited.

A CPD certificate with 1 CPD credit will be issued to those joining each webinar live and will be automatically issued after 7 days to those who watched the webinar live in its entirety. Those who watch the webinar on-demand will receive a CPD certificate 60 days after the webinar has gone live.
