Tennessee HB0960 amends the state's medical education requirements to include an optional maternal mental health course.
Tennessee HB0960 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, to require the boards of medical examiners, osteopathic examination, and psychology to develop and offer an optional course in maternal mental health. The course must cover best practices in screening, the range of disorders, evidence-based treatment options, and when to consult with a psychiatrist. The boards must periodically update the curriculum based on new research and accept course completion as credit toward continuing education for relevant specialists. The act takes effect upon becoming law.
