At Our Last Meeting . . . 

Deep TMS and Beyond with Dr. Kotomori

This presentation focused on transcranial magnetic stimulation, the various forms of transcranial magnetic stimulation, the theory behind transcranial magnetic stimulation, and the modalities available commercially in the  United States.  

Summary:

Therapeutic interventions with brain stimulation can take the form of electromagnetic induction of seizures, direct current induction of seizures, electrodes implanted directly into the brain, transcranial electrical stimulation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Clinical use of these modalities at this point is limited to electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation and direct implantation of electrical leads in the brain. The mechanisms of action are not always clearly known but the theoretical framework that supports their use, the science involved, and clinical importance were discussed.

Objectives:

Participants were able to:

  1. Name FDA Indication for TMS

  2. Outline likelihood of response to medications according to STAR -D data

  3. Outline likelihood of response to TMS with similar patient populations

  4. Describe the contraindications and side effects of TMS

Bio:

Dr. Kotomori's training is as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, General Psychiatist. Fellowship, Residency and Internship at Harbor- UCLA Medical Center. Howard University College of Medicine - MD, UC Berkeley - BA, Genetics, Spanish Literature (Latin American) - Minor


President's Message: 

Greetings CAMFT members. I hope you are all enjoying this cool weather while it lasts. We have a big meeting coming up in May, including both our annual board elections and a presentation by state CAMFT executive director, Nabil El-Ghoroury, on the current state of the profession, including an update on legislation that will affect MFTs, regulatory practices of the BBS, and information on legal resources offered by CAMFT.

I hope you will all consider attending and voting for our slate of nominees.  We are still in need of a secretary, so if you are willing to serve in this capacity, please let us know as soon as possible. We also encourage those who want to be more involved to come volunteer at our events and/or attend our board meetings following our monthly seminars.  Please email us at iecamft@gmail.com  for more information.  Have a great month!
