Tye Hunt-Harrison MD, MPH
Director, ACCESS Mental Health and ACCESS Mental Health Residency Training Track<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The UNC School of Medicine and UNC Department of Psychiatry are committed to the provision of equitable high-quality access to mental and behavioral healthcare for all people in need of assessment and treatment. \u00a0Improving mental health access for our patients has been identified as a priority within our department.\u00a0 This residency training track was developed as a tool to prepare future psychiatric clinicians, researchers, and leaders to adequately serve an increasingly diverse community.<\/p>\n

The general psychiatry residents selected for this track will be involved in developing strategies to identify and reduce mental health inequities in the interconnected domains of patient care, research, education, and advocacy. The time dedicated to engagement in track activities ranges from one half day to one full day per week depending on the post graduate year. Engagement begins in PGY2.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Patient Care<\/u><\/strong>– Residents will have the opportunity to learn about the impact of mental healthcare disparities on historically under-represented and marginalized groups via direct engagement with patients, caregivers, providers, and experts in mental health disparities.\u00a0 Residents may select to develop community engagement programs and quality improvement projects that will improve the provision of mental and behavioral healthcare along the continuum of care.<\/p>\n

Research<\/u><\/strong>– Residents will have the opportunity to participate in The ACCESS Mental Health Program\u2019s Research Core, which is committed to high quality and high impact integrative mental health wellness and disparities research. The goal is to provide a learning environment that consists of didactics, research development, and mentorship with a focus on mental health outcomes and wellness of diverse race and historically marginalized groups.<\/p>\n

Education<\/u><\/strong>– Residents will have the opportunity to contribute to enhancing educational initiatives within the residency training programs, including a focus on improving cultural humility and sensitivity for clinicians, researchers, and staff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span>Through the ACCESS Mental Health Track,<\/span> I have become involved with UNC\u2019s Formerly Incarcerated Transition (FIT) Program, which provides physical and mental healthcare to people who have recently been released from incarceration. <\/span>I am currently working with my mentor, Dr. Ted Zarzar, to develop a project that allows patients to share their lived experiences while exploring their unique mental healthcare wants and needs. -Katelyn Einloth, MD (PGY2) <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/span>My current project strives to help bridge the gap between Christian faith communities in rural areas and mental health, specifically African Methodist Episcopal (AME) churches in Johnston County, by tailoring the Y-MHFA training in an attempt to make it more culturally relevant to strengthen community leaders\u2019 ability to assist youth in their mental health challenges. -Angela Clayborne, MD (PGY3)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

The ACCESS Mental Health Track has changed my career and transformed my time in residency. -Enioluwafe Ojo, MD, MPH (PGY4)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
