PediPRN Intensive Program

The PediPRN Intensive Program (PIP) was developed to meet a need identified by the enrolled pediatric primary care providers to provide an in-depth training in child mental health topics. The goal is to create a group of practitioners embedded in each of their home practices who will serve as local experts. This will not replace the availability of PediPRN for all enrolled participants, but instead will enhance the local expertise and competence with more challenging mental health problems that this subset is motivated to treat. 

Course Topics

The course will cover topics that the pediatric primary care providers have identified as areas of interest for more in-depth training.

These may include but not be limited to such topics as:

• How to conceptualize a behavioral health case
• Crisis management
• Psychiatric levels of care and systems of care
• Anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD
• Developmental disorder
• Behavioral disorders
• Substance use
• Sleep disorders
• Collaboration with schools
