Abstract
- The benefits of interprofessional care in providing mental health services have been recognized, particularly in rural communities where health services are limited. In addition, there is a need for more continuing professional education in mental health intervention in rural areas. Although interprofessional collaboration and continuing education have both been proposed to address the paucity of mental health services available in rural areas, there have been no programs developed in which the two components have been combined. This paper describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of an interprofessional continuing education program specifically designed to enhance rural mental health capacity.
