Interdisciplinary Healthcare Training Program
When behavioral health is integrated into health care, patients' symptoms improve and physicians feel supported (National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, 2021; Reiter, Dobmyer & Hunter, 2018; Reiss-Brennan, Burnisholz, Dredge et al., 2016). However, region-specific workforce training and distribution realities impede the full implementation of the effective interdisciplinary evidence-based models. Specifically, Texas has the second-highest health professional shortage in mental health in the country. Further, the maldistribution of the workforce, more than a shortage, and a lack of model-specific, context-specific training for masters level clinicians threatens the implementation of the high-impact effective models (HRSA workforce report, 2022, Graham Center, 2022).
Baylor School of Social Work responds to this workforce need through two programs: a pre-graduate certificate program and a post-masters degree clinical fellowship.
