Children's Mental Health Learning Series: Providers Partnering for Pediatric Care
The University of Montana partners with the Montana Access to Pediatric Psychiatry Network to bring a virtual learning series to primary care and behavioral health providers treating children and adolescents with mental health care needs in Montana. Other members of the interprofessional team involved in the spectrum of care are welcome to attend and will benefit from this learning opportunity.
The sessions feature subject matter experts and case presentations to provide multidisciplinary professionals with resources, knowledge and clinical expertise in their treatment and care for children and adolescents with behavioral health conditions.
There is no cost associated with participation.
Sessions are on the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 2-3 p.m. MST via Zoom.
