[PC-BH-Integration] Training resources for primary care docs in beh care

[Nancy Halloran]

Hi all

I am passing on a request for recommendations and resources regarding 
training for practicing primary care clinicians to be able to treat 
behavioral health issues in clinic.

What was requested: "We need specific training to deal with major 
psychiatric disorders as the primary care provider. This would 
include medical updates on the disorders and specific training on use 
of medications. We should learn both "optimal" and formulary based 
therapies (ie Medi-cal formulary)

There are three principal areas of interest:
1. Depression
2. Affective disorders (ie manic depressive)
3. Thought disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective)

Some of the training could be selected reading for us chosen by a 
psychiatrist (background information). True false questions or exam 
based learning is good too. Lectures created specifically for our 
needs could also be successful."
Thanks for any suggestions
