Behavioral health integration in the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) offers opportunities for psychologists to play leadership roles. Widespread practice transition to PCMH models of care are expected to substantially impact the psychology workforce. Conservative estimates suggest that approximately 90% of the 93,000 clinically trained psychologists would be required to meet projected need in these settings. This has implications for how health service psychologists are trained. In addition to relevant clinical competencies, they must be versed in system/program development, administration, evaluation, quality improvement, and interprofessional collaboration. Herein, the need to introduce psychologists to the many potential roles in the PCMH is underscored. Inherent to effective work in the PCMH is the synthesis of professional competences in addition to those traditionally included in psychology training. We offer a competency-based PCMH training framework adapted from levels of intensity in the Education and Training Guidelines: A taxonomy for education and training in professional psychology health service specialties (American Psychological Association, 2012). Practical examples of training activities, taking into account available programmatic resources, also are presented. (PsycINFO Database Record
行为健康在以患者为中心的医疗之家（PCMH）中的整合为心理学家提供了发挥领导作用的机会。预计广泛的实践将向 PCMH 护理模式过渡，这将对心理学劳动力产生重大影响。保守估计表明，大约 90%的 93000 名临床训练有素的心理学家将被要求在这些环境中满足预期的需求。这对卫生服务心理学家的培训方式产生了影响。除了相关的临床能力外，他们还必须精通系统/项目开发、管理、评估、质量改进和跨专业合作。在此，强调需要向心理学家介绍 PCMH 中的许多潜在角色。PCMH 中有效工作的固有要求是除了传统上包含在心理学培训中的专业能力之外，还需要综合运用其他专业能力。我们提供了一个基于能力的 PCMH 培训框架，该框架改编自专业心理学健康服务专业教育和培训指南中的强度级别：教育和培训的分类法（美国心理协会，2012 年）。还提出了考虑到现有计划资源的培训活动的实际示例。
