2027 OPPA Annual Psychiatric Update &
Mental Health Care Clinical Summit
 

The Next Chapter in Psychiatry:
New Science, New Challenges, New Solutions

April 3 - 4, 2027

Hilton Polaris, Columbus

 

Join your colleagues from across Ohio on April 3–4, 2027, at the Hilton Polaris in Columbus for OPPA’s Annual Psychiatric Update and Mental Health Clinical Summit! As the field of psychiatry continues to evolve, staying informed about emerging science, innovative treatments, and the complex challenges facing patients and physicians has never been more important. This year’s program brings together leading experts to explore timely, clinically relevant topics—from groundbreaking advances in glutamate-GABA research and depression treatment to sleep medications, distinguishing borderline personality disorder from bipolar disorder, anti-obesity medications in psychiatric practice, and deprescribing strategies. Attendees will also gain valuable insights into the clinical and forensic implications of postpartum psychosis and the impact of federal policy changes on Ohio Medicaid and behavioral health services.

Invest in your professional growth, strengthen your clinical expertise, and reconnect with colleagues who share your commitment to advancing psychiatric care. Beyond exceptional educational programming, OPPA’s Annual Psychiatric Update offers an opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss real-world clinical challenges, and explore practical solutions that can make a meaningful difference in the lives of your patients. Whether you're an experienced psychiatrist or early in your career, you'll leave with fresh perspectives, actionable insights, and renewed enthusiasm for the future of psychiatry.

Be part of the conversation shaping the next chapter in psychiatry. We look forward to seeing you in Columbus!
