Primary Care Psychology: The Case for Psychologist Staffing Standards

This course presents the scientific data that compels the US Primary Care and Community Hospital System to establish staffing standards for all Medicare and Medicaid reimbursed healthcare system that include doctors of psychology.  These healthcare programs are the hub of the wheel of the US healthcare system and they simply can't take care of the demand for mental health and substance use disorders (SUDs) and the behavioral and psychological aspects of chronic physical disease.
