2. CAMS Consultation Calls (4 FREE CEs available): After completing the Foundational Online Training clinicians will participate in at least four out of eight CAMS Consultation Calls, scheduled every other week. The consultation calls reinforce learning through case discussions with experienced CAMS consultants.  Participants who complete at least four consultation calls will receive a free CAMS source book, Managing Suicidal Risk: A Collaborative Approach by Dr. David A.
