Program Basics
I’ve already read the book Finally Focused; what new material will I get from this program?
Dr. Greenblatt’s breakthrough best-seller, Finally Focused, was written for the consumer, and provides a ‘digestible’ and functional psychiatry model for ADHD that excludes more challenging scientific information that may inaccessible to the lay reader. Furthermore (and for this same reason), the book does not provide a clear, step-by-step process of understanding, interpreting, and prioritizing the kind of testing that is made on the part of the clinician as part of this model.
The Psychiatry Redefined ADHD Intensive program provides a clinically-oriented and scientific immersion into Dr. Greenblatt’s functional psychiatry model for ADHD, one that provides a comprehensive overview of the biochemistry behind the disorder and focuses on clear, objective analysis of functional medicine testing found to be most relevant for the treatment of ADHD.
As the field of functional medicine has exploded over the past several years, so too have the popularity of functional medicine models veer concerningly close to the very approaches from which they seek to distance themselves, at least in concept. This is the ‘one size fits all’ approach, a practice of medicine based upon the concept that what works for one patient will probably work for another with the same diagnosis or symptom constellation. To be sure, the growth and burgeoning acceptance of functional medicine is a wonderful thing, but we should be wary, as clinicians, of ‘standardized’ models in all guises. Standardization is not what functional medicine is not all about. In its truest form, functional medicine is about personalized medicine that honors biochemical individuality.
Program registrants will receive: not standardized paradigms to be applied to every patient, but rather step-by-step models that allow clinicians to customize – with biologic precision – personalized interventions that target the unique biochemistry underlying each individual patient’s symptoms; a functional roadmap for designing a biologically-informed, personalized holistic plan of treatment for every ADHD patient in need, and optimizing that patient’s therapeutic outcomes for sustained health and balance.
Do I have to listen to the course lectures in a specific order?
No. Fellows are welcome to progress through curriculum in any order they wish, and at their own pace. However, we do recommend reviewing the related topics and curriculum before any upcoming live sessions with Dr. Greenblatt, as that will help orient you with the presentation and discussion.
Is this a certified training? Will I be certified after completing this training?
Yes; the ADHD Intensive is a certified training, and trainees can gain Provider Certification as a Certified Functional Medicine for ADHD Provider. This Provider Certification distinguishes yourself and acknowledges your extensive study. The Provider Certification is optional and contingent upon completing the entire program and passing the Provider Exam.
About the Provider Certification & Exam
The Provider Exam is available at the end of your training curriculum. Upon completing and passing this in-depth exam, you earn certification and obtain the title, Certified Functional Medicine for ADHD Provider. This certification provides a Provider Certificate, and you may use the aforementioned title as part of your professional credentials.
PLEASE NOTE:
- The Provider Certification Exam is NOT associated with nor accredited by the ACCME or any official CME board. Details on official CME Certification and credits can be found in the questions below and require separate testing.
- Psychiatry Redefined is neither a regulatory nor licensing organization and therefore not sanctioned to certify, license, or otherwise bestow the legal authorization to practice as a psychiatrist, nurse or nurse practitioner, physician’s assistant, psychologist, nutritionist, physician, or other mental health professional. Certification certifies a student’s completion of ADHD training and exam only. Nothing about this exam is intended to replace, override, or conflict with existing board certification or national licensing requirements for health professionals and their requirements for practice in their state of residency and practice.
How long will I have access to courses provided in the ADHD Intensive?
Registrants will have unlimited access to all courses, lectures, content and recordings included in the ADHD Intensive online training program for 6 months beginning with the program start date.
How do I communicate with other registrants in the program, or ask a question about course material?
Live group sessions are the primary means through which registrants may submit questions to Dr. Greenblatt during live, real-time sessions (held via Zoom). Participation in session discussions is not mandatory, but strongly recommended, as it allows for dynamic engagement with fellow health professionals and Dr. Greenblatt.
Trainees are also provided access to a private online community. On this platform, you can connect with other ADHD trainees, along with other providers from our various clinical programs. This platform allows you to network with trainees all over the globe, gain live training support, find treatment solutions, and more! You’ll have the ability to discuss real patient cases, curriculum, interventions, practice resources and share your knowledge with other like-minded providers.
Who can I contact if I have questions about this training?
We understand that enrolling in a professional education program is a big decision and each potential trainees may have unique questions. We offer a variety of ways to connect with our team and Dr. Greenblatt to ensure you’re making the right decision for your career and clinical goals.
You may schedule a free and private discovery call with Dr. Greenblatt here. Note: We encourage you to review the questions listed on this FAQ page to ensure you get the most from your time with our team.
You may also email our Education Director at training@psychiatryredefined.org at any time, and she will respond to you directly.
Will I be able to present and discuss questions from real clinical cases?
Yes! The ADHD Intensive program is not only an educational experience, but a collaborative one. Learning how to apply your knowledge in real-life clinical contexts and improve patient outcomes is part of our guiding principles. You are encouraged to present clinical cases for discussion, to stimulate group discourse and glean valuable insights from Dr. Greenblatt.
- Live Sessions: These live trainings and group sessions provide another opportunity to share/present clinical cases and ask questions. Q&A is built into the timetable for every session, and the faculty member leading the session (Dr. Greenblatt) will answer questions.
- Submitting Questions: Questions may be submitted directly during live Zoom sessions. Alternatively, you may submit questions and/or cases ahead of time to the Director of Education and Events, hgetz@psychiatryredefined.org, who will provide them to faculty for the live session.
What and when are the live sessions?
The ADHD Intensive Online Training is unique, in that Dr. Greenblatt will be sharing far more clinical knowledge during live trainings and sessions than in previous trainings. The initial live training (kick-off) will feature the most clinical content, and each of the following sessions will provide ample time for trainees to ask questions relating to the topic listed. All sessions are recorded and uploaded to your curriculum for later viewing.
Sessions are generally held live on mid-week at 8:00PM EST via Zoom. Below are the dates for the Summer 2025 training.
- Live Session #1: July 12th at 11 am ET (2.5 hours)

Is attendance at all live sessions mandatory?
While attendance at the live sessions with Dr. Greenblatt is not required, we strongly recommend that you attend as many as you can, for these sessions comprise a keystone component of the program. Live sessions permit trainees to engage in discussion with Dr. Greenblatt and with their peers to broaden understanding and explore topics pertaining to functional psychiatry for ADHD. They also provide a forum within which to ask questions and present clinical cases.
We understand, however, that busy schedules sometimes preclude live session attendance. For this reason, all sessions are recorded and made available in your training curriculum approx 4-6 days post-session.
How do I join the live sessions?
Trainees can find upcoming dates and Zoom links in their curriculum “course” within the Learning Management System (the LMS), where all training content is housed.
We encourage students to register for these sessions ahead of time to ensure attendance. Trainees will also receive an email approximately 2-5 days before each live session date with all necessary Zoom links, dates and times. At the appropriate date and time, simply click the Zoom link you’ve been sent to join the live session.
Will I receive a certificate of participation upon program completion?
Yes! A Provider Certificate (and certification) will be provided to each trainee when all portions of the training have been completed, and the Provider Certification Exam has been successfully passed.
A Certificate of CME activity completion is also available to those who intend to claim CME credits for the Functional & Integrative Medicine for ADHD course. This certificate is available after completing the required CME tests and course evaluation form.

Do I have to pass tests or quizzes along the way?
If you intend to claim CME credits for any of the accredited courses, you must complete, submit and score a passing grade for all of the provided course module post-tests. The minimum passing grades for CME post-tests is 80%. You are granted three attempts to take these tests. Post-tests must be passed in order to obtain credit and your certificate. If you do not wish to claim CME credits, then you do not need to pass the test.
Remember: These quizzes are meant to reinforce knowledge gained in course lectures, and should be viewed as an adjunct to learning.
How do I view and complete CME post-tests and evaluations?
The certification requirements for CME credits can be found as separate “course” on your student dashboard in our learning management system (LMS). For reporting purposes, the certification requirements (evaluation and post-tests) are generally housed separately from the accredited educational course itself.
You will be provided specific instructions at the end of each accredited course how to complete certification and obtain your certificate.
If you cannot locate your CME Certification course in your student account, we recommend using the search bar on your student dashboard to search/find the course title: “CME Certification”
Do I have to complete an evaluation if I want to claim CME credit?
Yes, per ACCME policies and requirements you must complete a Registrant Information Questionnaire and Course evaluation for every CME-approved course for which you want to claim CME credit.
Do I have to complete all tests and evaluations in one sitting?
No. Just like the individual online courses, your progress is saved for all post-tests/quizzes and evaluations for CME credit. These can be completed at your own pace. If you need a break after finishing the first quiz, for example, you may pause; you may then return to the course player, and you can pick up where you left off. You are granted three attempts to pass each required post-test.
How do I fulfill CME requirements for each CME-approved course?
In order to fulfill CME requirements you must:
- Complete all post-tests for that course with a passing grade of 80%
- Complete the Course Evaluation for said course
Once all required components have been completed you will be provided instructions for obtaining your CME Certificate for the accredited course.
Will Psychiatry Redefined report my CME credits for me?
No. Each student is responsible for reporting completed CMEs to their specific board in order to claim credit, in accordance with all ACCME policies, guidelines, rules and regulations.
I previously completed a PR course or program that is now approved for CME credit. Can I claim credit retroactively?
No; CME and/or credits can only be claimed for courses that were completed within the term of credit approval. The term of approval for Psychiatry Redefined’s current CME courses began September 1st, 2019.
CE credits were only available for a limited time for certain online courses. The term of approval for CE ran from December 2022 through September 2023. If you completed any of these courses prior to or after this time frame, you cannot claim said credits.
