Psychiatry for Non-Psychiatrists
Friday, October 16, 2026
8:00 am - 4:15 pm
The robust demand for mental health services has grown steadily and outpaced the supply of psychiatrists. Non-psychiatric clinicians are increasingly filling that void and providing vital mental health care in many settings, including primary care clinics, hospitals, and community health centers. This conference will provide additional support to these clinicians so that they are better prepared to meet the mental health needs of their patient populations.
Topics include:
The conference will be held in person at DMU32 Health and Business Complex in Des Moines, IA and streamed live online via Zoom. Continuing education credit will be available. Learn more and register.
The Iowa Nurses Association is excited to invite you to the 2026 Annual Conference, Stronger Together, taking place October 27–28, 2026, at the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center in Ames, Iowa.
Building on the conversations and insights from last year's conference, Stronger Together celebrates the collective strength of Iowa nurses as we navigate change, embrace new opportunities, and shape the future of healthcare. This year's conference will focus on resiliency, translating knowledge into bedside practice, visionary leadership, and impact strategies that empower nurses to lead meaningful change in their organizations and communities.
Join colleagues from across the state for two days of learning, inspiration, and connection as we explore how, together, we can strengthen our profession, advance patient care, and create lasting impact.
Registration includes Monday night reception; all sessions on Tuesday; access to exhibit hall; and breakfast, lunch, and breaks on Tuesday.
