This course is designed for pharmacists, nurse practitioners or other health care professionals involved in the comprehensive medication management of psychiatric and/or neurological patients.
Session Summary
Health care today is moving to an integrated care model, where patients are receiving team-based care in a Patient-Centered Medical Home. There is growing literature to support integrated care, with improved quality of care and patient outcomes. Health care training needs to adapt to the shift to integrated care by incorporating interprofessional collaboration into training programs. This presentation is designed to familiarize the audience with interprofessional clinical training and incorporate collaboration into their own training programs.
