This presentation will explore the findings of a Delphi study where the purpose was to identify the pertinent supervisory needs of novice behavioral health clinicians in integrated primary care (IPC) settings. Prior researchers have indicated that behavioral health trainees in integrated care settings have reported receiving unsatisfactory supervision (Kracen et al., 2023; Li et al., 2022), highlighting a significant concern in the training of future behavioral health providers in primary care settings. This presentation will provide attendees with the final list of 68 statements that a group of 12 interdisciplinary behavioral health trainees identified as pertinent supervisory needs of novice behavioral health clinicians when transitioning into IPC settings. A discussion of current supervisory practices in IPC settings will occur, allowing for presenters and attendees to explore ways in which supervision can be enhanced to promote comprehensive training for new clinicians in IPC. This presentation will end with an exploration of future directions for supervisors, educators, and researchers as they continuously evaluate and improve the practice of supervision in IPC settings.
