Q You are a primary care doctor in a local health center. You have recently returned from a conference on mental health disparities and behavioral health integration and you are charged. You’ve shared your newfound dream to lead an integration effort with your medical director and she is excited by your energy, so much so that she has asked you to share with your colleagues your takeaways from the conference. Prepare a persuasive speech. Your speech should include detailed information about disparities, an overview of behavioral health and primary care integration, and key reasons why primary care doctors should be excited to work on teams with behavioral health professionals. The social work department is already warm to the idea of integration. You need to grab the attention of the other primary care doctors, nurses, and other practitioners and staff. As you prepare your speech, consider potential selling points: what does primary care stand to gain and/or lose?
