Abstract:

Mental health professionals encounter patients with complex health needs, often without formal training on how to support them in navigating a healthcare system that can be ill-equipped to meet their needs. We lay out a framework for understanding the needs of this population and review a variety of evidence-based integrative treatment options.

Dr. Meghan Jobson is an internist with specialized training in integrative and palliative medicine. She cares for people with long illness as a physician with the San Francisco Department of Public Health. Dr. Jobson earned her BA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Utah, and her medical degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She completed her medical residency and fellowships at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Jobson co-authored the recently released book Long Illness: A Practical Guide to Surviving, Healing, and Thriving.
