To address patient needs holistically, behavioral health support should go hand in hand with medical treatment. As part of Princeton Health’s commitment to whole-person health, Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center recently launched a behavioral medicine didactics series that provides insight on the biopsychosocial model of illness, integrating social, psychological, and biological aspects of health and disease. This free series has been created especially for health psychology and social work trainees and early-career clinicians.
Facilitated by Rebecca Boswell, PhD, Administrative Director of Psychiatric Services at Princeton Medical Center and Director of Princeton Center for Eating Disorders, the series imparts an added layer of expertise in behavioral health that ultimately benefits patients at various stages of their health care journey. Experts from Princeton Health and leading universities across the country will present a broad range of topics, such as building integrated behavioral health programs, eating disorders 101, and using DBT with patients who have cancer.
