Patients with acute medical conditions deserve compassionate and comprehensive care in the hospital. When patients additionally face mental health concerns this should be no different; yet, hospitals have not been properly designed to handle acute medical and mental health needs in the same place at the same time. As a hospital based clinician or a designer (architect, engineer, facility director, process improvement professional or administrator) who focuses primarily in healthcare, you can't afford to miss this event. Participate in this definitive assembly of healthcare providers and designers (like you) to “Reimagine Medical Psychiatry Units” and help inform future fundamental guidelines.
This Reimagining Workshop, is organized by the Sextant Foundation. and supported by the Association of Medicine and Psychiatry and FGI. This dynamic, two-part workshop will focus exclusively on “Reimagining Medical Psychiatry Units".

FAQ
Why a Hybrid Event?
The entire workshop was intended to happen in-person right before the AMP annual meeting (Workshop attendees are encouraged to attend the AMP meeting.) The workshop is an opportunity to gather perspectives to inform a draft of a new FGI guideline section for Medical Psychiatry Unit. However, the comment deadline for the FGI cycle is before the AMP Annual Meeting.
A hybrid event allows us to engage a community, gain insights on the draft guidelines, and take advantage of opportunities that are afforded by a hybrid event.
​
Can I join Online but not in person?
The ideal is to join both the online and in-person sessions, and we would like as many people as possible to attend both sessions. Yet we realize this won’t be possible for everyone. If you are unable to attend both sessions, please sign up for the ones you are able to attend.
​
What will happen during the Zoom Session?
During the Zoom session, in small teams, we will hear the main challenges faced by our clinicians and patients. We will define a challenge to work on, explore the processes implicated in the challenge, ideate potential solutions, hone the best solution, and review the implications of the guidelines.
