Video Series: "Psychologists in Integrated Health Care"
The American Psychological Association's new "Psychologists in Integrated Health Care" video series highlights how psychologists can work side-by-side with other health professionals to improve patients’ overall well-being. The video series is designed to promote awareness of how integrated care works and benefits society and provides a behind-the-scenes look at how psychologists in integrated health contribute to improved patient satisfaction and better health by working collaboratively with all members of the care team.
