PsychU Membership Eligibility
In accordance with the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, attendance at PsychU educational programs is limited to appropriate attendees (e.g., physician, clinical professional, current medical school student, care manager, advocate, recovery coach or an executive and manager of an organization) whose primary role is to provide, manage, finance, study, or regulate mental health services for adult patients.
NOTE: Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization Inc. (OPDC) reserves the right to decline membership to individuals who OPDC determines do not meet the certification requirements.
Membership & Registration
Membership is required to attend PsychU programs. Membership is free to all relevant mental health professionals as described above. If you are not currently a member of PsychU, you will need to become a member before you can register to attend an event.
Registration for PsychU Live Events will be closed two business days prior to the date of the event. No walk-ins will be permitted to attend PsychU Live Events.

Attendance Limitations
PsychU declines attendance after a healthcare professional has attended a pre-determined number of Live Events, has attended multiple programs on the same topic or is outside the appropriate specialty for PsychU Live Events, to avoid any appearance of impropriety between Otsuka and the healthcare professional. This measure protects the healthcare professional as well as Otsuka.
If you have any questions about this policy, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Otsuka Ethics & Compliance Department at E&CHelpline@otsuka-us.com.
Meal Reporting
The value of all meals provided at PsychU Live Events will be attributed to attendees and reported in accordance with relevant federal and state laws.
