FAQs

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 plan of treatment for every ADHD patient in need, and optimizing that patient’s therapeutic outcomes for sustained health and balance.

No. Fellows are welcome to progress through courses in any order they wish, and at their own pace.

Yes; the ADHD Intensive is a certified training, and trainees can gain a Certificate of Completion, as well as certification as a Certified Functional Medicine for ADHD Provider. This Provider Certification distinguishes yourself and acknowledges your extensive study. The Provider Certification is available upon completing the program and passing the Provider Exam.

About the Provider Certification & Exam
The optional Provider Certification Exam is available to those who have completed comprehensive, designated ADHD trainings and/or courses through Psychiatry Redefined. 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.

Registrants will have unlimited access to all courses, lectures, content and recordings included in the ADHD Intensive program for one year beginning with their enrollment date.

Group supervisions are the primary means through which registrants may submit questions to Dr. Greenblatt during live, real-time supervisions (held via Zoom). Participation in supervision discussions is not mandatory, but strongly recommended, as it allows for dynamic engagement with fellow health professionals and Dr. Greenblatt.

We are also currently developing a private online community for Psychiatry Redefined trainees. On this forthcoming 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. Stay tuned – this platform is launching soon!

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 Trainings & Group Supervisions: 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 training/group supervision, and the faculty member leading the supervision (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.

While attendance at Group Supervision webinar trainings is not required, we strongly recommend that you attend as many as they can, for these trainings comprise a keystone component of the program. Group Supervisions permit registrants 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 Supervision attendance. For this reason, all Supervision webinars are recorded, and a replay link will be emailed to registrants 24-72 hours after said session. If for any reason you cannot attend a live Supervision, you may use this replay link to watch the session recording later at your convenience.

Trainees can find upcoming dates and Zoom links in their Live Trainings & Supervision “course” within the learning management system (the LMS), where all curriculum is housed. We encourage students to register for these training supervisions ahead of time to ensure attendance. Students will also receive an email approximately 2-5 days before each new supervision 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 supervision.

Yes!  A Certificate of Program Completion will be provided to each registrant upon the conclusion of his or her course of study.

A Certificate of CME activity completion is available to those who intend to claim CME credits for the Functional & Integrative Medicine for ADHD course.

The ADHD Intensive program includes a three-module course, Functional & Integrative Medicine for ADHD, which has been approved for 4.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

No; pursuing CME credits for the accredited course is entirely optional.

The designated CME provider for Psychiatry Redefined is Comprehensive Psychiatric Resources, Inc.

The Functional & Integrative Medicine for ADHD course has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of MedicusCME and Comprehensive Psychiatric Resources, Inc.

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.

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”

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.

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.
