The E-GATHER is a learning tool designed to engage a new BHC in participatory learning activities that support development of skills and knowledge with high fidelity to the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model. This presentation will introduce this learning innovation and demonstrate its use with several supervisees. The E-GATHER can serve as a bridge to use of the PCBH BHC Core Competency Tool during initial months of BHC training and during a brief re-orientation after a BHC practice has veered away from core PCBH skill practices. The presentation will include E-GATHER data and visit completion data from 2 case studies of supervision that used the E-GATHER. Presenters will include one of the tool’s developers, a supervisor, and two supervisees.
