Lindsey Enoch, MD graduated with a Bachelor of Science from James Madison Universityand received her MD from Saint Louis University. She completed a combined residency in internal medicine and psychiatry at UC Davis. During her final year of residency, she spent time as chief resident, and also worked with a Collaborative Care team doing consultation for primary care.
Because of her training in both internal medicine and psychiatry, Dr. Enoch has unique experiences providing both medical and mental health care in non-traditional settings. Over the years, Dr. Enoch both provided care for and taught residents how to address psychiatric illness in the primary care setting. She has also written on the topics of teaching primary care providers supportive therapy and teaching psychiatrists how to screen and treat metabolic syndrome.
Dr. Enoch has been dually appointed in the Departments of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and of Internal Medicine and is doing Collaborative Care at 3 different clinics, as well as some telepsychiatry and primary care. She feels her most important work has been centered on teaching, and one of her main interests is developing curriculum to help psychiatrists provide medical care to their patients. Five years from now, she believes that Collaborative Care will rely on both psychiatrists and primary care doctors’ ability to provide comprehensive care.
