“The Chicago NEI conference was my first & I was very impressed. Future conferences by other agencies will seem boring in  comparison. I liked the pace of most of the presenters and liked the pre/post testing questions that kept me on my toes. I will definitely attend further training offered by NEI.”
—Kathy Parker; Chicago 2007 Academy

“I have attended 3 NEI Conferences in the past 3 years (San Diego, Orlando, and Chicago)and this organization just keeps getting better and better.  I attend several difference conferences on a variety of professional mental health topics each year and if I had to pick just one conference to attend each year, it would be an NEI event.  NEI provides extremely useful, up-to-date educational material that is presented in a truly enjoyable format.”
—Owen Nichols; Chicago 2007 Academy 

“I’ve renewed my NEI Membership. I’ve enjoyed the many benefits of Membership! NEI is great!”
—K.M.

“...It was the most valuable learning experience of my career. Thanks so much for your attention to the many details that enriched my ability to learn. I plan to attend every NEI offering I can possibly get to.”
—J.F.; 2006 Congress

“Best conference I have ever been to.”
—San Francisco 2007 Academy

“...[I] do not recall anyone with the guts to tackle the issue of specialty education like NEI does. You seem to be on the cutting edge of educational techniques. As a former educator at many levels you have my admiration.”
—C.L.; 2006 Congress

"I attended the Academy in Washington, DC this past week and am sincerely grateful to all of you for creating such a great learning experience. The program was, as I expected, challenging, current and fun. I don't think a yawned even once! The speaker were knowledgeable and clearly able teachers. Most of them seemed to be having a good time too. The NEI staff was attentive and creative in problem solving. The choice of hotel was quite satisfying."
—Catherine A. Lovie

"I just want to thank you and your professional staff for the high quality, timeliness and relevance of your audio CD series 'Sages of Psychopharmacology'. Each and every one of them is top notch, up to date and full of 'pearls' for all of us in the clinical 'trenches'. Please keep them coming!!!"
—A.G. Pezzarossi

"I continue to think about the weekend and how truly spectacular the seminar turned out to be! It was, without exception, the very best, most well produced educational event I have ever attended in my entire life."

"I consider what NEI is doing for the psychiatric profession to be of maximum benefit and service to all of us and ultimately to the patients we will treat. It almost feels like an act of true benevolence...something of such great value so generously given to us. I don't mean to get all misty-eyed or anything, but those docs trained psychoanalytically, before the gene regime, needn't give up before they get started. Initially, I heard much discouragement and a sense of being overwhelmed and hopeless dominate many of my colleagues in the audience, who have been practicing for 30+ years. This eventually transformed as the weekend progressed. I found this change in outlook to be the most impressive aspect and outcome of the seminar."

" The Academy was one of the best learning experiences that I have ever attended. I learned so much and felt like my mind had been expanded. I intend to go to the Congress in 2005 and try for my certification."

"One of the best, if not THE best. It has changed the management of my psychiatric patients. Thank you."

"Incredible conference...The information will help guide our policies for monitoring patients and also help guide our medication sequencing in treating difficult patients."

"The NEI Congress was superb and, with little variance, the instructors were exceptional."

"Presentations of concepts and useful aspects of basic science by Dr. Stahl and colleagues are done in a thoroughly engaging and entertaining way. I am not just fed facts; I’m taught to think for myself."

"The Academy was a fantastic experience. The multimedia aspects really kept me in my seat."

"Your seminars are the best educational experience I have had in my life!"

"Excellent, engaging format and cutting-edge information."
