Professionals in industries from health care to education to landscaping require several forms of continuing education credits to keep up with their accreditation or licensure. Michigan Online , already home to more than 200 open online courses, is continuing to expand its portfolio of courses that offer CEUs and certifications to offer busy industry professionals flexible, on-demand options to fulfill their requirements and strengthen their professional development. 

Michigan Online currently features several courses that offer continuing education credits for health care and educators. The latest is Understanding Psychosis , taught by Adrienne Lapidos, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist and clinical associate professor at Michigan Medicine . 

Understanding Psychosis

For Continuing Medical Education (CME) Credit Eligible Learners: View information about expected results, presenters, their disclosures, and CME credit here: https://ww2.highmarksce.com/micme/activity/202314175EM…

Understanding Psychosis is designed to provide healthcare providers and students in health-related fields a deeper understanding of psychosis spectrum disorders, the fundamentals of trauma-informed care, and strategies to improve engagement of individuals with psychosis.

The course allows physicians and other professionals in health care and related fields to earn a maximum 8.5 American Medical Association PRA Category 1 Credits. Each of the course’s four online modules are eligible for between 2.0 and 2.5 credits, with only the first module required. 

“We designed the course so everyone had access to the fundamental elements but also provided flexibility for those who had the time and interest to engage with more in-depth instruction,” said Lapidos. “Our steering committee featured not just health system clinicians but also people with lived experience of psychosis, and everyone collaborated on determining course content and teaching strategies.”
