The 1-Minute Behavioral Health Preceptor Model: A Practical Tool for Integrating Behavioral Health into Family Medicine Residency Training
Description

This presentation introduces the 1-Minute Behavioral Health Preceptor Tool, a practical framework for integrating behavioral health care into family medicine residency training. Designed to enhance resident competency in managing mental health issues, the tool offers a solution for family medicine faculty in regions with limited access to behavioral health clinicians. The presentation will highlight findings from its implementation across four training sites, discussing both the challenges and significant learning impacts observed. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to integrate the tool into their clinics and improve behavioral health training for residents.
