Name
Integrated Behavioral Health Training in Real Time: The Role of Attending Sessions
Description

This session presents an adapted training and supervision model for behavioral health learners in integrated primary care (IPC), developed in response to workflow, competency, and financial challenges that limit traditional approaches. Presenters will outline their system’s framework—which mirrors family medicine resident training and incorporates narrative‑based reflective practice—along with financial implications and trainee experiences. Attendees will leave with practical, scalable steps for implementing similar strategies within their own organizations.
