Description

We are inviting all clinicians working in specialty medical settings to join us for a discussion of what Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) looks like in your practice. Our discussion will center around how well PCBH's GATHER framework fits our clinical practices in specialty medicine, identifying commonalities with primary care as well as areas of divergence. We’ll also generate feedback for CFHA on how the organization can support the continued development of IBH services in specialty medical settings.
