On today’s episode of Get Psyched, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Joseph Cooper, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Dr. Cooper directs residency training and the Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry Fellowship and serves as co-chair of the National Neuroscience Curriculum Initiative (NNCI). Dedicated to integrating neuroscience into psychiatric education, he plays a key role in shaping curricula and making neuroscience more accessible for mental health professionals. Join us as Dr. Cooper breaks down neuropsychiatry, explaining where it overlaps with psychiatry and neurology. We’ll also explore what neuropsychiatry training entails, the essential role of neuroscience in understanding brain-behavior relationships, and how this field is transforming psychiatric care.
