New York: November 14–15, 2026
New York Marriott Marquis · 1535 Broadway
Times Square puts you in the center of everything. So does this room.
New York trains more psychiatric residents than any other city in the country. Clinical Pearls brings that density of expertise into a single venue, 150 seats, two days, and direct access to the national KOLs shaping how the field treats mood disorders, TD, and cognitive decline. No convention floor to get lost on. No breakout sessions you'll skip. Just the clinical conversations that actually move your practice forward, in the city where psychiatric medicine never stops evolving.
Miami: January 16–17, 2027
Brickell Arch Miami · 1395 Brickell Avenue
Start the new year where psychiatric education meets the fastest-growing treatment community in the Southeast.
South Florida's psychiatric landscape is expanding — and the clinicians managing that growth need more than a conference badge. Clinical Pearls Miami gathers up to 150 residents, fellows, and attending psychiatrists for two days of high-density clinical decision-making on the cases keeping them up at night. Complex presentations. Evolving pharmacology. Real faculty who co-manage caseloads like yours. In January, in Brickell, when you need it most.
Two intimate regional events. One career-defining experience.
Clinical Pearls is a new Psych Congress education series built for psychiatric residents, fellows, and members of the psychiatric treatment team, not a lecture hall, but a working session where academic program directors and national KOLs co-present on the clinical challenges you're managing right now.
Complex mood disorders. Treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Tardive dyskinesia. Prescription digital therapeutics. Cognitive impairment and agitation. ADHD. The most urgent challenges in modern psychiatric care, tackled through evolving DSM-5-TR standards in an intimate setting with no more than 150 peers, not 1,500 strangers.
