The Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Qlinic (Wellness Qlinic) is a student-run mental health clinic serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ +) community in New York City. Student-run clinics have successfully provided primary care to underserved communities experiencing barriers to accessing health care. Psychiatric evaluation and medication management have also been implemented in several student-run clinics, but providing sustainable psychotherapy services has been a challenge. In this paper, we present a student-run mental health program incorporating interdisciplinary trainees to provide robust short-term psychiatric treatment, including individual psychotherapy, medication management, and group therapy. Results of a chart-review study to evaluate patient engagement and treatment outcomes are presented. The Wellness Qlinic's treatment model resulted in 90% patient retention and positive clinical outcomes for patients while addressing an education and training gap in LGBTQ + mental health for multidisciplinary mental health care providers.
威尔康奈尔医学院健康诊所（Wellness Qlinic）是一家由学生运营的心理健康诊所，为纽约市的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿（LGBTQ+）群体提供服务。学生运营的诊所已经成功地为难以获得医疗保健的服务不足的社区提供了基本医疗服务。一些学生运营的诊所已经实施了精神病评估和药物管理，但提供可持续的心理治疗服务一直是一个挑战。在本文中，我们介绍了一个学生运营的心理健康项目，该项目结合了跨学科的学员，提供强大的短期精神病治疗，包括个体心理治疗、药物管理和小组治疗。我们展示了一项评估患者参与度和治疗结果的图表审查研究的结果。威尔康奈尔医学院健康诊所的治疗模式使 90%的患者得到保留，并且对患者的临床结果产生了积极影响，同时为多学科心理健康服务提供者解决了 LGBTQ+心理健康方面的教育和培训差距。
