What's the difference between a medical and behavioral health ECO and TDO? And why should emergency physicians and other medical providers know how to use them to get your patients the care they need?

Join us for an in-depth presentation on navigating the legal and clinical complexities of both medical and psychiatric Emergency Custody Orders (ECOs) and Temporary Detention Orders (TDOs).

This lunch-hour session will be led by Dr. Joran Sequeira, VACEP president-elect and medical director with Southside Medical Center, along with Jonathan E. Green, Director of the Department of Magistrate Services at the Supreme Court of Virginia.

During this session, we will decode the legal pathways and practical procedures surrounding ECOs and TDOs, highlighting the roles of magistrates, law enforcement, emergency physicians and staff, and emergency medical personnel. Attendees will gain valuable insights into handling mental health crises and medical emergencies effectively under Virginia law, complete with patient case studies and actionable guidelines.

This event is ideal for Virginia emergency physicians, family medicine doctors, hospital and health system leaders, and those involved with behavioral health crisis management.

Time will be available at the end for questions.
