<DIV>Michael,</DIV>

<DIV>I would also encourage you to review the stories highlighted in the most recent edition of the National Council's Magazine. We feature over a dozen stories from integration efforts across the country. I would be happy to help connect you to other community behavioral health providers who would could provide an excellent presentation on this topic. </DIV>

<DIV><BR>>>> <mswerdlow@Hobokenumc.com> 7/7/2009 10:40 AM >>><BR>I would like to invite members of this list serve to participate the<BR>Northeast Region Meeting of the Society for the Teaching of Family<BR>Medicine. The conference will take place in Rye, New York from Oct. 29<BR>to Nov. 1, 2009. The theme for this year's conference is "The New Deal<BR>in Healthcare: A Medical Home for All." One of the tracks in the<BR>conference will be the integration of primary and behavioral health<BR>care. We are interested in having presentations on projects that are<BR>attempting to either provide behavioral health services in primary care<BR>setting or primary care services in a behavioral health setting. <BR><BR>As a director of a mental health center, I feel this is a wonderful<BR>opportunity to meet with primary care providers and educators who are<BR>very committed to the better integration of care. Given the discussions<BR>going on regarding the U.S. healthcare system, I believe it is critical<BR>that mental health professionals build linkages with our primary care<BR>colleagues. <BR><BR>The Society supports the growth of Family Medicine. It promotes medical<BR>student interest in Family Medicine, and supports residency programs.<BR>It develops programs and services that create coalitions and linkages<BR>among those who wish to improve primary care to all segments of the<BR>population. The Society is national in scope. The Northeast Region<BR>includes all the states from Maine to Virginia. However, attendance is<BR>not limited to any of those states. <BR><BR><BR>If you are interested in attending and/or presenting or have any<BR>questions please feel free to send me an e-mail or call.

This would <BR>include medical updates on the disorders and specific training on use <BR>of medications. We should learn both "optimal" and formulary based <BR>therapies (ie Medi-cal formulary)<BR><BR>There are three principal areas of interest:<BR>1. Depression<BR>2. Affective disorders (ie manic depressive)<BR>3. Thought disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective)<BR><BR>Some of the training could be selected reading for us chosen by a <BR>psychiatrist (background information). True false questions or exam <BR>based learning is good too. Lectures created specifically for our <BR>needs could also be successful."<BR>Thanks for any suggestions<BR><BR>Nancy S.
