Clinical Dialogues 2026 - Dr. Nassir Ghaemi

Spots are filling up quickly. Secure yours before the next price increase to $299. Enrollment is limited to ensure meaningful case discussion during the live sessions.

Not Another Webinar

Unlike a traditional webinar, Clinical Dialogues 2026 is built around real cases and real questions submitted by participants.

This is where the principles discussed in the SRI Masterclass are taken into the real world:

  • Difficult differential diagnosis
  • Mixed states vs “anxiety”
  • Antidepressants vs mood illness
  • Rational psychopharmacology
  • What to prioritize when the case is not straightforward
  • And much more...

Most psychiatric education stays at the level of concepts. Clinical Dialogues is where those concepts are tested against reality.

In the previous sessions, participants brought real cases and clinical dilemmas, and Dr. Ghaemi used them to teach live — discussing diagnosis, lithium, antidepressants, mixed states, OCD vs mood symptoms, schizoaffective presentations, treatment hierarchy, and much more. The format is deliberately interactive, with live discussion, chat questions, and replay access afterward.

You are not just watching slides You are watching clinical reasoning happen

Is this only for psychiatrists or PMHNPs?
No. It is open to clinicians, trainees, therapists, psychologists and serious learners.

Yes. The format includes live interaction. You will be able to turn on your camera and ask your questions direct to Dr. Ghaemi live, and also use the chat/Q&A.
