Graduate Internship Training of Integrated Behavioral Health in Primary Care (IBHPC)

Graduate programs that train students to operate in team-based integrated care environments are increasingly provided in online platforms and target the development of competencies related to team-based collaborations. Evaluations tied to these and other competencies are making it possible to determine that students can apply the knowledge of team-based work in primary care practice settings. One evaluation tool is presented that proposes a link among behavioral health activities, behavioral anchors, and performance metrics that address each of the three worlds (i.e., clinical, operational, financial) of healthcare practice.
