Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was FDA-approved in 2008 for treating depression. 5 years later it is emerging as an important new approach for the practicing psychiatrist. There are over 7 FDA-approved TMS devices, and new FDA indications emerge each year. This course is geared toward the practicing psychiatrist who wants to understand who to refer for TMS, and what outcomes to expect. As in many areas of medicine and science, there are many who claim more than TMS can deliver.
