Joseph Baldwin, MD received his medical degree from the University of Michigan and will complete his residency at the University of Washington in June 2018.
Throughout his rotations at UW, Dr. Baldwin was drawn to several different fellowship opportunities. After doing his leadership elective during his third year he became more interested in quality improvement and population-based medicine. He realized that the Integrated Care Fellowship combined his love of teaching, the role of a consulting psychiatrist, team-based patient care, the role of quality improvement, and population-based medicine to increase access to care.
Dr. Baldwin believes that increasing access to mental health care and tracking outcomes to ensure better quality of care captures some of integrated care’s most important work. Even within his time in residency, he has seen a huge increase in the interest and push for collaborative care. He sees this trajectory continuing and is excited to be a part of it.
