Education 

Education and the sharing of knowledge are central to the mission of IGSLi. The importance of experienced clinicians guiding and mentoring younger colleagues cannot be overstated; it is through this exchange that the field of psychiatry continues to grow and evolve. As both lecturers and listeners, we find ourselves enriched—lecturers by the opportunity to distill and impart their knowledge, and listeners by the chance to absorb, question, and ultimately apply new insights to their own practice.

IGSLi is proud to offer open lectures as a platform for this vital exchange of ideas. The videos below feature some of our distinguished members from past annual meetings, sharing their expertise on a wide range of topics relevant to lithium treatment and psychiatric research. We are committed to expanding this library of recorded lectures, webinars, and other educational materials, ensuring that our community has ongoing access to the latest developments and thought leadership in the field. Through these resources, we aim to foster a culture of continuous learning, where the collective knowledge of the group serves to elevate each of us individually.
