Hear from two prior pre-doctoral interns and their supervisor on how they integrated a super clinic in Southwest Missouri while maintaining high fidelity to the PCBH model. This session will review how the new care site was selected, how interns for this site were selected, as well as how supervisors supported interns during this time. The interns will describe their approach to integrating the clinic and how they were able to reach a high level of integrated care within a matter of months. Metrics such as patients seen per hour, number of new patients seen every month, and provider satisfaction scores will be presented to support feasibility of having pre-doctoral interns lead integration efforts.
