    Main Results:

    • Enhanced PCP skills in psychiatric assessment and management are expected.
    • Increased appropriate referrals to and consultations with psychiatrists are anticipated.
    • Improved patient care through integrated mental health services.

    Conclusions:

    • Primary care physicians require enhanced psychiatric competencies to manage a significant patient population.
    • Psychiatrists should actively participate in educating PCPs through various methods.
