The APA Scientific Conference objectives are:
- to examine, consider and appraise current diagnostic and clinical guidelines and practices to enhance patient care;
- to explore, consider and interpret the meaning of change from biological, psychological, and social perspectives for our patients and in our professional relationships with them; and
- to reflect upon and discuss integrating change in our personal and professional lives as well as in the systems within which we work.
