Speaker Short Bio
Dr. Brandon Kitay is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Emory School of Medicine and is the Director of Behavioral Health Integration for Emory Healthcare. The Emory Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) Program is charged with developing mental health resources for both patients and providers that are timely, evidence-based, and at the appropriate level of care. Since joining the Emory School of Medicine in 2020, IBH efforts have included the successful implementation of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) in four primary care clinics serving a population of ~40,000 primary care patients as well as an "interprofessional e-Consult" program to support clinicians throughout the Emory Healthcare Network in their psychopharmacology practice. The IBH Program also serves as infrastructure for population-based behavioral health services research, education, and scholarship within the Emory University School of Medicine. As an exemplar of implementation and incubator for innovation, the IBH Program endeavors to encourage more widespread adoption of IBH services nationally.
