Learn to combine the fields of reproductive and integrative psychiatry. Reproductive psychiatry refers to the patient population - women across the reproductive lifespan - while integrative psychiatry refers to the treatment approach.
This course is for you if you work with women of reproductive age and are interested in providing them with a more well-rounded approach to treating their mental health symptoms.
We will cover treatment options for common conditions, including: PMDD/PME, challenging fertility journeys, perinatal mood & anxiety conditions, postpartum mood & anxiety (incl. birth trauma & intrusive thoughts), & perimenopausal mental health.
Curriculum Overview:
-
Treatment options for perinatal anxiety, perinatal and postpartum depression, sleep challenges across the lifespan, cognitive/attention issues, PMDD and perimenopause.

Founder & Head Lecturer - Anna Glezer, MD
I began my experience in reproductive psychiatry at the end of my residency training at Harvard's Massachusetts General Hospital, and within my first few months as an attending psychiatrist at UCSF participated in the launch of the first OB-Psychiatry clinic. In 2017, I founded the Women's Wellness Psychiatry clinic, a practice devoted to providing comprehensive reproductive psychiatry care to women across California.
As I strove to provide well rounded care, I was drawn to integrative mental health but discovered that there is not a lot of well-known overlap between reproductive and integrative psychiatry subspecialties. Pregnancy patients continue to be the most underrepresented group in medical research, and published research on integrative treatment options are also in an early phase of growth. And, so, I decided to…

- Psychologist
“I’m taking it now and so far it is really really good. This course so far is a better discussion and in-depth view of useful topics and how to think about selecting options for your patients. I learn something every lecture that I will apply in practice. (That hasn’t happened to me with CME courses in a while).”

FAQs
-
Reproductive psychiatry refers to the mental health treatment across a woman's reproductive lifespan, from premenstrual symptoms, through challenging fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum, and into perimenopause.
Integrative psychiatry refers to mental health treatment beyond the traditional focus on medications. It means looking at root causes of psychological struggles from the biological, psychological, and lifestyle angles, and choosing treatment approaches that encompasses those pillars as well.
Three key reasons why you should study both:
(1) Your patients are asking for these treatment options. In fact, it was because patients frequently asked me about alternatives to the traditional options and many were already trying options out that I dove into the literature, learned this information, practiced and polished it for you, and am presenting it here.
(2) Your patient population will grow. If you are looking to grow your clinical practice, ensuring a comprehensive working knowledge of integrative treatment options in reproductive patients will make you invaluable.
(3) Your patients will get better! Often, traditional treatment options may fall short. I've had many patients come see me after they've tried some more traditional options for their postpartum symptoms or premenstrual struggles and are looking to consider alternatives. Integrative mental health treatment addresses some of the root causes of dysfunction, rather than a band-aid approach, which means patients will feel better and that improvement will be sustained.

If you are a clinician working with women in their reproductive years, you'll benefit from this content. You may be an OB or midwife working with pregnant and postpartum patients; an internal medicine or family medicine clinician working with women across the lifespan; a psychologist or psychotherapist interested in learning more about non-prescription intervention options; a pediatrician working with postpartum moms; a gyn whose practice focuses on the perimenopause transition.

Yes, up to 40 CMEs will be available.
AMA PRA Category 1 credits (for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, nurses).
-
Most reproductive psychiatry courses focus on two primary elements: diagnostics and psychopharmacologic and western treatment options. Most integrative mental health courses do not delve into the special population that is pregnant, postpartum, and perimenopausal patients. This is the first curriculum that fills that gap between the two.
-
The Fellowship in Reproductive & Integrative Psychiatry is a self-paced online course consisting of 5 modules and several lectures in each module.
The lectures are video webinars with corresponding presentation slides to help solidify the content for you. Each lecture includes a detailed reference list if you are someone who enjoys reading the primary literature. The lectures are also case-based in order to bring the content to real life.
We know how busy you are as a clinician, and so the lectures are designed to be 25-minutes or less so that you can fit in a lecture in between patient sessions, when you have a cancellation, on your lunch-hour, etc.
In addition to the video content, you will also have access to a private Facebook group. There you can connect with others in the program to discuss challenging cases, ask questions, and network. The most popular questions will also be collected and addressed in live video sessions by the founder, Dr. Glezer.
-
The cost for the entire program is $975. This includes both the video and written content and access to live content via the Facebook Group. You will have access to all of the course lectures, presentations, and reference materials for 12 months from your sign up date.
A similar amount of content through a conference or online course often costs thousands of dollars.
-
All of the content is meant to be self paced, so you can complete it on your own schedule. There is 10-12 hours of video content and on average we expect most clinicians to finish it in 2-3 months.
-
It is not required. The fellowship content is all accessible through an online portal via this website. The live discussion groups are through Zoom. The private Facebook group is for asking questions, short additional informative videos, connection with other participants, and shared links.
“I've been a practicing psychiatrist for 15 years and the new information that I've gained from the course has been excellent. The focus on perinatal and women's reproductive psychiatry applications directly impacts my clinical practice and care and I am already starting to make recommendations to patients about content I've learned from the course”
