This afternoon, Woods System of Care was thrilled to provide a 4-hour CE training at the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) Scientific and Training Symposium in Jacksonville, FL on “USPHS Training Day” to healthcare professionals working in the USPHS and on the front lines of public health in communities across the U.S. The training was titled, “Inclusive Integrated Healthcare: Serving People with Intellectual Disability, Autism (ID/A) and Complex Needs.” I especially enjoyed presenting with my amazing Woods System of Care colleagues, Dr. Sailaja Musunuri, Chief of Psychiatry/EVP of Integrative Medicine and Vida LeMaire, Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Woods. The training symposium included an overview of: 1) the challenges faced by people with ID/A and complex needs and their families, 2) assessment and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, and 3) highlights of Woods’ integrated care model and numerous case studies to exemplify aspects of our treatment approaches. Woods System of Care is aligned with the Surgeon General’s call to action to improve health and wellness for people with disabilities. One of Woods System of Care’s strategic priorities is to build health equity, address health disparities and expand care for people with ID/A and complex needs by educating the existing healthcare workforce, students and systems how to provide ID/A-friendly care.
