Abstract
Our Field Education Program is a workforce development collaboration between the OSU College of Social Work and the PrimaryOne Health system. We train graduate social work students in an integrated and culturally relevant care curriculum model preparing them to provide behavioral health services to patients receiving care in community-based primary health care settings. Our program addresses noted health disparities and service inequities among racially and culturally diverse populations living at or near poverty levels.
Description
IMPACT. 1: Our students and clinical supervisors placed in community health centers serve thousands of patients annually who otherwise would experience compromised access to behavioral health services. -- 2. Our interdisciplinary team-based care at PrimaryOne Health increases provider awareness and identification of patient behavioral health needs, contributing to overall better patient health care. -- 3. Over 60 students have completed the unique field education program and overall demonstrate significant gains in developing integrated behavioral health service competencies.
