Summary
Post-Doctoral Residents will be placed in one of several locations providing integrated services throughout the health system. The integrated model of care involves the collaboration between Primary Care Providers and Behavioral Health Providers. The Post-Doctoral Resident is considered part of the medical team and participates in provider meetings and is frequently sought after for their expertise. Patients with all levels of need are seen on a daily basis and preferably at their time of need. The Department of Integrated Behavioral Health was designed to allow PCPs to contact the Behavioral Health Provider when a patient issue arises. This can be a simple meet and greet or helping patients deal with more complex types of issues (new diagnosis, diabetes, asthma, panic, depression, pain, etc.). The focus is on whatever the patient presents with that is impairing their functioning or their ability to be compliant with medical recommendations.
