It is crucial to train Family Medicine Residents in mental and behavioral health and provide exposure to integrated behavioral health in primary care. This session will overview aspects of a multi-component Primary Care Training Enhancement Program, including the implementation of a grant-funded Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) focused on resident education. The presentation will present preliminary data on BHC microteaching (targeted learning opportunities), will share data tracking methodologies to capture teaching moments between the BHC and Family Medicine providers, and will synthesize lessons learned through aligning behavioral health training initiatives. After attending this presentation attendees will be equipped to (1) describe strategies to align multiple behavioral health initiatives to enhance Family Medicine Resident training opportunities, (2) describe strategies to maximize Family Medicine Resident learning through microteaching opportunities with a BHC, and (3) describe strategies and lessons learned for interdepartmental innovation and collaboration.
