Interprofessional Team Collaboration to Study Integrated Behavioral Health Services in Primary Care

In Rowan Family Medicine (Sewell, NJ), an interprofessional team of medical and clinical psychology professionals and trainees collaborate to investigate the integration of behavioral health in patients’ primary care visits. We screen patients for PTSD symptoms using the DSM CAPS-5 during their primary care visits The PTSD Coach app is then encouraged to use 3x a day By making mental health care more accessible to patients, we strive to help meet the increased demand and alleviate the strain our healthcare system is currently experiencing. The team composed of Medicine and Clinical Psychology allows students to gain invaluable experience in interdisciplinary collaboration Overall, patients and providers feel satisfied and positively receive this Integrated Behavioral Health Model
