Name
Teaching the PCBH Model to Family Medicine Residents and IBH psychology students in an FQHC: The ICARE Project
Description

The Loma Linda University Family Medicine Residency program has created an extensive mental and behavioral health curriculum to train family physicians to identify, treat and refer patients and families who screen positive for mental health concerns. The curriculum includes diagnoses, skills, health behavior change skills with lectures, online modules and IBH activities in the FQHC based continuity clinic. Psychology students are placed in the clinic and hospital with the residents to implement the PCBH model with high fidelity GATHER competencies. A robust quality improvement team-based process ensures implementation is continuously refined.
