Summary
The current generation of primary care trainees, both behavioral medicine and family medicine, have begun to understand the unique need for training on how to work in concert with one another. This “generation integration” includes both family medicine physicians behavioral medicine professionals. One such avenue to this training is through the use of dedicated rotation time for both kinds of trainees with behavioral medicine faculty in integrated care clinics. We present one model for cross-training both psychology and marriage and family therapy trainees and family medicine residents together in a behavioral medicine clinic. We will present the setup of our unique service, with the behavioral medicine trainee serving as the “upper level”
