U.S. Department of Health and Human Services picks Joseph
Price for panel
Joseph Price,
a behavioral health faculty member at Family Medicine of
Southwest Washington, is among a select group of health care
practitioners asked to join a national advisory panel on primary
care education.
Price will serve a three-year term on the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Advisory Committee
on Training in Primary Care Medicine.
The 23-member advisory group will make
recommendations to the department on how to spend $100 to $300
million annually for primary care medicine education.
“We think it speaks nicely of Family
Medicine and Southwest Washington Medical Center to have a
direct voice or conduit to the DSHA,” Price said of the
appointment.
As a faculty member of Southwest Washington
Medical Center’s family medicine residency program, Price
teaches residents about behavioral aspects of primary care
medicine.
According to Price, about 70 percent of the
nation’s mental health care is provided by primary care
physicians.
