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

[Dana Frantz]

Nancy,

The IMPACT treatment model is an evidence-based approach to treating
depression in a primary healthcare setting. The training can be accessed
on-line for free and is well-structured re: when to increase the dose or
change medications.

Subject: [PC-BH-Integration] Training resources for primary care docs in
behcare

 

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
