Skip Welcome to Medical Psychiatry Collaborative Care Certificate

The Medical Psychiatry Collaborative Care (MP3C) certificate is aimed at creating integrated care capacity in clinical teams working within both acute and community primary care settings. This program was developed as part of a larger medical psychiatry alliance across healthcare organizations and the University of Toronto. The MP3C program integrates evidence-based models of medical psychiatry (mental and physical health) integrated care, with clinical skills development and quality improvement to shape the delivery of integrated care across the patient continuum, from pediatrics to geriatric and palliative care.
