In the second part of the PSYPACT series, Dr. Bryant will be joined by two of her fellow risk managers, Drs. Scroppo and Martinez, to more specifically address risk management considerations specific to interjurisdictional practice under PSYPACT. Participants are encouraged to raise their own questions and concerns for discussion. Exploration of various risk management and ethical dilemmas will occur, with a focus on helping participants tease out the clinical, legal, ethical, and risk management factors. Together, participants will work to see the risk management implications of specific situations and choices, scrutinize options for resolution, and foster a tolerance for ambiguity and the understanding that there may be no single ideal solution to each challenge. We will also discuss strategies for effective risk management and good patient care when regulations and requirements are unclear.

Specifically, participants will learn at least two psychological effects of racial discrimination on youth of color.
