Project Description:

Our module which correlates ADHD criteria outlined in the DSM-5 with the corresponding neurocircuitry in the brain is a valuable learning alternative for trainees with the potential to reduce the stigma around ADHD and provide resources resulting in timely diagnosis and appropriate interventions. Reflecting on the social determinants of mental health, our team hopes to improve educational access and quality of care through this ongoing project by expanding its scope to reach relevant disciplines involved in care of patients with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD.
