On Dec. 9, 2020, the AMA held a webinar in the AMA STEPS Forward™ series: "Practical Practices: Behavioral Health Integration."
Learn about key findings from a behavioral health integration study conducted by AMA and the RAND Corporation and describe how AMA and multiple medical specialty societies are working to remove obstacles and improve care for people with behavioral and mental health conditions–along with observations on how these efforts can help physicians and practices in today’s unprecedented environment of COVID-19.
