ACU Webinar: Practical Suicide Prevention Strategies for Primary Care Professionals in Training

Описание: Presented by the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved on October 5, 2022.

Suicide is a growing public health crisis, and medical students and other clinicians in training who will be entering the primary care space are likely to encounter patients at risk for suicide. Nearly half of individuals who end their lives by suicide visit a primary care provider in the month before their passing, making primary care visits crucial opportunities to intervene. However, all too many clinicians receive no training in suicide prevention during their education.

The Association of Clinicians for the Underserved has developed a new “Quick Tips” guide to help prepare clinicians in training with simple, practical strategies and micro-interventions that can be seamlessly incorporated into any primary care visit. Join Dr. Virna Little, Chief Clinical Officer at Concert Health, and Dr. Julian Mitton, System Director at CommonSpirit Health and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, to understand the scope of the crisis, learn to recognize warning signs and screen for suicide, and implement simple, evidence-based interventions.
