Clarissa Reynoso, MD, is a bilingual pediatric palliative care physician in Baton Rouge, LA, where most of her patients are on Medicaid. To further improve access to care for underserved populations, she also serves as a pediatrician at a nearby Federally Qualified Health Center. With her REACH training, she intends to educate residents on how to screen for common mental health issues to increase access to treatment.
"The solution seems obvious: Treating mental-health disorders must fall to pediatricians, who already have regular contact with their patients and are trusted providers. Itβs such an intuitive idea that parents have already started demanding it." Thankβ¦
