Recorded on Thursday, March 14th, 2024
Access provided upon registration on “My Courses” page
The Indian Health Service (IHS), is an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, that provides federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized tribes is historically due to the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes. Established in 1787, the relationship is based on Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and was solidified through numerous treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive Orders. The IHS is the principal federal health care provider and health advocate for the nation’s Indian people, and its goal is to raise their health status to the highest possible level. The IHS provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Dr. Alan Ostby, a prescribing psychologist with the IHS will discuss the specific educational and training guidelines that detail how psychologists can become credentialed/privileged to prescribe psychotropic medications. This presentation will discuss: (a) guidelines and standards to prescribe in the IHS;(b) the impact prescribing psychologists in the IHS; (c) providing American Indians with greater access to needed psychosocial interventions; (d) delivering pharmacological services to remote areas via telehealth; and (e) IHS opportunities for students and psychologists.
When attended in full, this program offers 1.0 APA CEs for Psychologists.
