Ottawa Curriculum for Perinatal Mental Health

PROGRAM DETAILS

Course Description

The University of Ottawa, Office of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and the Department of Psychiatry are proud to present this 1/2-day virtual course. The focus of this year’s course is SAFETY.  Live seminars will address how to balance suicide and child safety assessment while providing trauma-informed and culturally safe care. The morning closes with a panel presentation from community resource providers. Accredited pre-recordings will cover the screening and treatment of common perinatal mental illnesses, with an opportunity to ask questions to perinatal psychiatry experts.

This course will be of interest to ALL perinatal care providers, including obstetricians, family doctors, psychiatrists, midwives, nurses, doulas, social workers, occupational therapists, psychotherapists, lactation consultants, and learners.

Our cutting-edge virtual conferencing platform captures all the benefits of an in-person conference experience, but allows us all to conveniently participate online. Plus, sessions will be recorded and participants will have access to this content for one year from the date of the event.

Statement of OCPD Obligations to Learners and Speakers

OCPD is committed to the protection of all personal information collected and used in the operation and management of its programs. All personal information provided to OCPD will be protected in accordance with uOttawa Policy 90 and the applicable privacy legislation, including the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. OCPD and the Ottawa Curriculum for Perinatal Mental Health will not provide learner and speaker information (e.g. disclosure agreements, communications with speakers) to any third parties such as external organizations, sponsors or other industry concerns. OCPD does provide the Ottawa Hospital Academic Medical Organization with lists of members who speak for OCPD so they may qualify for TOHAMO recognition. Information collected by OCPD may be amended or deleted by the learner or speaker provided reasonable rationale and identification are provided. Learners and speakers may opt out of future contact either through the registration system or contacting us directly at: cpd@uottawa.ca

Policy on Patient Privacy

As our programs deal with clinical content, cases are frequently used in presentations. OCPD follows Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA) which prohibits the disclosure of a patient’s healthcare information outside of a patient’s circle of care. While the Act permits use of personal health information for “educating agents to provide health care” {37(1e)}, OCPD directs speakers to ensure that any case material does not provide any patient identifiers.
