Name
An Interdisciplinary Designed Pediatric Mental Health Care Handbook for Pediatric Resident Training
Description
There is a growing crisis of pediatric mental health care needs in the U.S., with the burden falling increasingly on pediatric primary care providers, given the shortage of pediatric mental health providers. To address this need, the pediatric, psychiatry, and psychology teams at Columbia University have undertaken a joint effort to develop training materials for pediatric residents. Developed with user-centered design principles, this mental health care management handbook provides evidence-based and expert diagnostic and treatment algorithms to assist trainees in clinical decision making. This handbook integrates with other program embedded training on the same mental health care topics to reinforce learning.
