N2 - Our systematic review aimed to identify evidenced-based training interventions to prepare counselors and mental health professionals to work in integrated care settings. We utilized the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocols (PRISMA-P). Search terms were created that specifically investigated integrated care training interventions involving mental health professionals within the years 2000-2021 from peer-reviewed journals and academic databases. 18 articles were included for our final analysis. A quality analysis on our included studies followed the Mixed Methods Appraisal (MMAT). Following the quality analysis, we developed the following themes from the study results: (a) HRSA-funded studies; (b) skill development; (c) self-efficacy; and (d) interprofessional collaboration. Further investigation is needed to demonstrate the sustainability of integrated care training for counselors. Specifically, how training impacts client therapeutic outcomes and addresses multicultural and social justice competencies.
