Aryan Sharif, DO, is a family physician resident at a Federally Qualified Health Center in Caldwell, ID. He also volunteers extensively in the local community and at pediatric medical camps. Practicing in a region where pediatric mental health providers are few and far between, he will use his REACH training to expand his own clinical services and empower his colleagues. He hopes to help more family physicians embrace, rather than shy away from, providing children’s mental health services.
