Identifying Early Signs of Psychosis in Adolescents and Young Adults

Identifying Early Signs of Psychosis in Adolescents and Young Adults is a two-hour continuing-education course from Stanford's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, hosted on edX in an audit-only track with no paid certificate option. Stanford Center for Continuing Medical Education lists the activity with the registration fee waived, with 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits for physicians and 2 hours of Non-Physician Participation Credit for other learners; the accreditation period runs to January 7, 2027, matching the end of the edX run. On completion, a claim-credit link takes you to Stanford's MY CE portal, where you fill in an evaluation and can then download or email the certificate. The course takes a practical approach to spotting and screening for psychosis.

Narrative storytelling gives a view from inside the mind of a young person experiencing early symptoms, didactic sections review the warning signs, and case scenarios show how to talk with adolescents, young adults and their families about psychosis, with high-yield screening questions. Stanford writes it for family practice, primary care, paediatrics and psychiatry clinicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and school social workers. edX labels the course advanced, self-paced, one week at 1 to 2 hours, with no prerequisites listed. The certificate is a CME participation certificate from Stanford's portal rather than a badge with a public verification link.
