Place: In-Person Meeting with Webinar/Conference Call Component, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 5E29, Rockville, MD 20857.

Status: The meeting will be open to the public.

Purpose: The ACTPCMD provides advice and recommendations on a broad range of issues relating to grant programs authorized by title VII, part C, sections 747 and 748 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). During the June 28-29, 2016 meeting, the Committee will discuss the topic for the 14th report which is divided into two areas: a) Review of Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry Programs under title VII, part C of the PHSA and b) the ways to integrate behavioral health content into primary care medicine and dentistry training programs.

Agenda: The purpose of the Advisory Committee meeting is two-fold: a) Review the activities under sections 747 and 748, part C of title VII of the PHS Act including performance measures, longitudinal evaluations, and appropriation levels for these programs; and b) review ways that behavioral health content could be integrated into primary care education and training. The Committee has identified that integrating behavioral health services into primary care settings offers a promising, viable, and efficient way of ensuring that people have access to needed behavioral health services. The ACTPCMD's reports are submitted to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services; the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate; and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives.
