The Weill Cornell Physicians Organization has selected seven outstanding physicians for the Healthcare Leadership Fellows Program (2020-2021) to foster their development as physician leaders, including Cori Green, MD, MSc, associate professor of clinical pediatrics and Director of Behavioral Health Education and Integration in Pediatrics in the Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Pediatrics.
Dr. Green's fellowship will focus on the Behavioral and Mental Health (B/MH) program from an educational, clinical, and research standpoint in the Department of Pediatrics. The Department's initiatives will reach primary care faculty and practices and, eventually, subspecialty and inpatient care as well. For year one starting in July 2020, the goal is to begin to change attitudes and culture for all faculty members, to implement a 3-year longitudinal curriculum with the new interns, and to implement B/MH screening in the primary care settings. Dr. Green plans to be concurrently participating in the Fellowship Program during year one, and her project will be to study these implementation efforts.
