Abstract
- Objective: This article will describe a training curriculum for family medicine residents to practice collaboratively with psychology (doctoral) trainees at the Wayne State University/Crittenton Family Medicine Residency program. Methods: The collaborative care curriculum involves a series of patient care and educational activities that require collaboration between family medicine residents and psychology trainees. Activities include: 1) clinic huddle, 2) shadowing, 3) pull-ins and warm handoffs, 4) co-counseling, 5) shared precepting, 6) feedback from psychology trainees to family medicine residents regarding consults, brief interventions, and psychological testing, 7) lectures, 8) video-observation and feedback, 9) home visits, and 10) research. The activities were designed to teach the participants to work together as a team and to provide a reciprocal learning experience. Results: In a brief three-item survey of residents at the end of their academic year, 83% indicated that they had learned new information or techniques from working with the psychology trainees for assessment and intervention purposes; 89% indicated that collaborating with psychology trainees enhanced their patient care; and 89% indicated that collaborating with psychology trainees enhanced their ability to work as part of a team. Informal interviews with the psychology trainees indicated that reciprocal learning had taken place. Conclusions: Family medicine residents can learn to work collaboratively with psychology trainees through a series of shared patient care and educational activities within a primary care clinic where an integrated approach to care is valued.
