This year-long program is for community psychiatric providers seeking additional training to deliver integrated care in community-based settings. Modeled after employed MBA programs, this training program is structured as an employment-friendly program with a priority of flexibility in scheduling, including a distance learning component and quarterly in-person specialized skills work sessions.
Fellowship Type: Integrated Care Fellowship
Population Mental Health and Integrated Care Fellowship
The Population Mental Health and Integrated Care Fellowship offered at the UW Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is a unique opportunity to learn how to provide integrated care through delivery of consultation to non-mental health settings (such as primary care), provision of telepsychiatry, and leadership to improve systems of care. Participants in this program will develop the skills needed to provide effective mental healthcare to a variety of populations, such as:
- Leadership Skills
- Understanding Health Care Systems
- Clinical Skills
Trainees can customize their experience and focus on specific clinical conditions or populations (such as Pediatrics or Perinatal).
Integrated Mental Health Fellowship
The University of Washington has a strong tradition of research in primary care psychiatry / health services research. The National Research Service Award (NRSA) Integrated Mental Health Fellowship combines mentored research experience with the option of completing a nationally renowned Master of Public Health (MPH) Program.
The goal of the program is to train physicians or clinical psychologists working at the interface of mental health and primary care who will become academic leaders in primary care / mental health integration research. The fellowship has been funded by NIMH for over two decades and has an excellent record of success. The majority of program graduates have been recruited to academic teaching and research positions in Psychiatry, Family Medicine, or Pediatrics and many have developed independent federal-, state- or foundation-funded research programs in mental health services research.
