Description

This interdisciplinary program provides professionals with a foundation in integrated behavioral health and primary care, with a dual emphasis on pediatric and adult populations. Participants explore the models, policies, ethical considerations, and implementation strategies that support collaborative, person- and family-centered care with attention to population health, health disparities, and cultural responsiveness. Pediatric learning addresses developmentally appropriate care from birth through adolescence, family engagement, and approaches to common behavioral, developmental, and physical health concerns. Adult learning emphasizes chronic disease management, care coordination, and interdisciplinary team roles. Across these areas, participants deepen their understanding of comprehensive assessment, screening, and brief evidence-based behavioral interventions suited to fast-paced clinical settings.
