PsyD and PhD Interview Practice Test

In reform models, care is organized around a team rather than a single clinician. The health care team is interdisciplinary, bringing together professionals from multiple disciplines—such as primary care physicians, nurses, social workers, and mental health specialists like psychologists or psychiatrists—who collaborate to plan, deliver, and coordinate both physical and mental health care. Including mental health within the team reflects the understanding that mental health is a core part of overall health, and addressing it alongside medical issues improves outcomes, adherence, and patient satisfaction. Telemedicine can be a tool, but the defining feature is the collaborative, multi-disciplinary team that includes mental health, not a setup with only one provider or with no mental health involvement.
