APA Trainings A
Review of New & Old Medications for Psychiatric Conditions
Frontier Health is offering an APA training, “A Review of New &
Old Medications for Psychiatric Conditions,” with C. Allen
Musil, M.D., on Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011, beginning at 8:30
a.m. at Millennium Centre in Johnson City.
“A Review of New & Old Medications for Psychiatric Conditions,”
will review major classes of psychotropic medications and
what’s new in these classes of drugs, a discussion of the
reasoning behind their use - when they might be used or not
used, and why one might choose one drug over another. This
presentation will give participants a basic understanding
and approach to medications - their risk and benefits. It
will be fast paced, with many clinical stories to accent the
presentation.

Sign Language Courses
Helping
to Bridge Gap
When spoken word is not heard, any gap in communication makes
daily living difficult. When this communication gap is closed
through sign language, the more than 22 million Americans
who are deaf are given new opportunities and chances to lead
a more fulfilling life.
Frontier Health’s Communication Center
for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is working to narrow the
gap by offering courses in American Sign Language. For more
