Name
Infusing Integrated Behavioral Health in Master’s Level Behavioral Health Programs: A Panel of Educators from Six Programs
Description

As IBH becomes more widely implemented in a variety of medical settings (e.g., primary care, specialty care), it becomes imperative that graduate training programs adequately prepare future clinicians for practice in these settings. This presentation will explore the strategies that promote the incorporation of IBH concepts, knowledge, and skills into six separate clinical mental health counseling graduate programs. Faculty representatives from the six programs will identify specific ways in which their respective programs provide didactic, clinical, and interprofessional training to enrolled students. This presentation will end with an exploration and group discussion of future directions for IBH education in graduate training programs.
