This session explores the day-to-day role of the psychiatric consultant in pediatric collaborative care. Through real-world examples and reflection, we will discuss how consultants support primary care teams, participate in structured registry review, and strengthen team-based care for children and adolescents. The focus will be on practical lessons that can be applied in a range of integrated care settings. This session is designed for psychiatric consultants, primary care clinicians, behavioral health care managers, and health system leaders involved in pediatric integrated care.
