Collaborative Care Education
摘要
Given the increasing demand for mental health care, it is imperative that the future psychiatry workforce learns to leverage their skills through various integrated care models, particularly the Collaborative Care Model, to impact a larger population effectively. The Collaborative Care Model, a team-based approach grounded in the principles of chronic illness care, has the most substantial evidence of any integrated care model supporting its efficacy. This chapter begins by advocating for the necessity of training the future workforce in developing clinical skills essential for functioning within this model. It then provides a detailed description of the didactic and clinical rotation curriculum, organized into topics tailored to different levels of trainees, supplemented with case examples. Finally, this chapter outlines a step-by-step process for implementing a new curriculum or modifying an existing one.
