Meet the NEI Faculty^*

Message From the Chairman of the 2026 NEI Fall Congress

Dear Colleagues,

The NEI Fall Congress stands as our most comprehensive event of the year. It is a gathering where science, clinical expertise, and innovation converge to elevate the standard of mental health care.

Our expert NEI faculty and guest speakers are deeply committed to helping you translate the latest research into meaningful clinical action. The educational program has been carefully developed to reflect the evolving realities of psychiatric care, with a focus on clarity, clinical relevance, and continuous learning.

I’m excited to soon unveil our scientific agenda, along with the lineup of distinguished speakers who will guide us through this transformative experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 NEI Fall Congress, whether in person or virtually, and to learning and growing together in the service of better care.

Warm regards,
Andrew J. Cutler, MD
