title: The Role of the Integrated Care Psychiatrist in Community Settings: A Survey of Psychiatrists' Perspectives.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to describe the work and experiences of psychiatrists practicing integrated care in the community.
  
  
  METHODS
  Consulting psychiatrists working in integrated care participated in an online survey about their experiences, opinions, and advice. Results were analyzed with quantitative and qualitative methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A convenience sample of 52 psychiatrists from around the country who were working in integrated care responded. Respondents reported that they address a wide variety of clinical problems with a range of treatment strategies. Most reported positive experiences, which were summarized in four themes: working in a patient-centered care model, working with a team, the psychiatrist's role as educator, and opportunities for growth and innovation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The survey documented the experiences of psychiatrists working in integrated care. Findings suggest that integrated care teams allow consulting psychiatrists to leverage their expertise to reach a large number of patients in a variety of practice settings.
