SUMMARY:Lancaster Speaker Series: Dr. Charl Els - Introducing Best Practices for the Independent Medical Examination (IME) of Mental and Behavioural Disorders
DESCRIPTION:SpeakersDr. Charl Els\nPsychiatrist\, Addiction Specialist\, and Occupational Physician \nClinical Professor\nDepartment of Psychiatry and Department of Medicine\nUniversity of Alberta \nProgramOccupational mental health disability claims continue to increase. As the physical impact of COVID-19 has diminished\, the mental and behavioural impact continues. Given the pre-existing service gap in mental health service delivery in Canada\, the pandemic has exacerbated what was already clearly an issue. \nAlong with other pre-existing factors\, this resulted in an increased demand for mental and behavioural disorder independent medical examinations (M&BD IMEs\, or psychiatric/psychological IMEs). There exists a need for broad adoption of IME best practice guidelines and standards for M&BD IME service providers. Anecdotally\, despite the high cost of requesting an IME\, and the relatively invasive nature of the assessment\, IME report quality and validity varies widely\, with at times questionable ability of such reports to stand up to judicial scrutiny. \nThis presentation introduces a best practice IME standard aligned with Canadian jurisprudence. It reflects appropriate use of the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) nomenclature\, while incorporating updates from recent Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. Most importantly\, it provides an empirical mechanism to remedy the most salient challenge encountered in the validity of IMEs today\, i.e. the absence of sufficient objectivity in an otherwise subjective psychiatric assessment process. Further work is underway for inclusion of a national standard in Canadian Occupational Medicine and Civil Forensic practice and program settings. \nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved for 1 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours under Section A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider counting this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hour.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider this program for 1 Substantive hour; 0 Professionalism hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may consider counting this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional InformationRegistration Fee – Single Attendee\nLive webinar\, video\, and MP3 Bundle: $195\nLive webinar: $125\nVideo and MP3: $125 \n(Registrations must be paid in advance of the webinar)\nPlease contact us by email\, or by phone at (416) 977-6618\, for discount pricing for additional participants and group orders. \nRegistration Information\nThe video recording and MP3 file are available for download and viewing one business day after the live event.
