Integrated Behavioral Health Residents.
Community Health of Central Washington has embraced the concept of integrated behavioral health in every aspect of training. CHCW takes great pride in being innovative in how to integrate behavioral health into the education and services offered.
Embracing Integrated Behavioral Health
During the three years of residency, residents receive four formal months of behavioral medicine experience, which includes shadowing of Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs) in their clinics, one-on-one coaching, gratitude and wellness activities, group role-plays, and much more. Informally, residents will work alongside multiple BHCs during their outpatient clinic experiences by completing co-visits, warm-handoffs, and sharing all aspects of patient care.
