Robert Mitchell has practiced as a physician assistant for more than 20 years in various areas including family practice, occupational medicine, psychiatry and correctional medicine. His current primary work is in corrections in a county jail providing healthcare needs for residents there.
He hopes to gain skills and inertia to pull together skills and formula for collaboration that works best in correctional setting care including the effective treatment of mental health disorders.
With luck he will be able to further demonstrate the importance of the role of Collaborative Care in providing services in a county jail or correctional setting.
Over the next several years hopefully the efficiency of collaborative care will be increasingly demonstrated and recognized among best practices.
