Science, Compassion, and Legacy: Carrying Forward the Lessons of Dr. Vladimir Maletic

Dr. Vladimir Maletic’s impact on psychiatry was as scientific as it was deeply personal. He was a pioneer in psychopharmacology, a brilliant educator, and a healer who never gave up on his patients. This session will celebrate his contributions to the field, the principles that guided his practice, and the ripple effect of his mentorship on clinicians and patients alike. Through case studies, video tributes, and personal reflections from faculty and former patients, we will explore the enduring lessons of his work—how to practice with both knowledge and heart, how to balance science with intuition, and how to never stop advocating for patients' well-being.
