Description of BHIP:
A growing body of evidence indicates that primary care visits are an under-utilized delivery method by which providers can work together to identify and treat patients who require, but would not otherwise seek, psychological care. Through BHIP, Montefiore Medical Group provides access to high-quality, evidence-based care to upwards of 300,000 Bronx residents with mental health needs. Provision of behavioral health services in the primary care setting helps remove the stigma often associated with mental health care; a stigma that creates a barrier to care in many circumstances. Our interventions target patients who present with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and ADHD, as well as those who have suffered traumatic life events or adverse childhood experiences. This treatment model has far-reaching and significant implications for the ways in which mental health care is delivered. Joining the BHIP team will give you clinical exposure to this evolving model of care and/or provide support and data to cultivate your own research questions.
BHIP's services start with HealthySteps, an evidence-based, interdisciplinary pediatric primary care program that utilizes a preventative-based approach to promote the physical, emotional, and intellectual growth and development of very young children (0-5yo). In HealthySteps, a behavioral health provider is integrated into pediatric primary care practices and provides families with tailored support for various concerns, including behavior, sleep, feeding, attachment, parental depression, social determinants of health, and adapting to life with an infant or toddler. As patients grow, BHIP continues to support mental health needs via short term intervention and the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM). CoCM is an evidence-based approach to care that prioritizes patient engagement with regular symptom monitoring. While severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) may still require referral to the community, the data showing the efficacy for CoCM to manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD in primary care is robust.
Position Description
This position will encompass a variety of roles within the BHIP team. The responsibilities of the Project Associate position may include: project coordination with state agencies, such as Early Intervention (EI) and New York State Office of Mental Health (NYS OMH); coordination of and assistance with virtual teletherapy groups, including patient outreach and group shadowing; participation in ongoing research projects; general data management; patient outreach and supervised case management, such as providing referrals to community-based mental/behavioral health clinics; and assistance to the leadership team. Applicants for this position should be highly organized and able to maintain several projects at a time.
Ideal Candidate will have:
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel);
- Ability to work in various roles and capacities and flexibility within each role;
- Excellent organizational and time management skills and demonstrates strong attention to detail;
- Strong interpersonal communication skills;
- Ability to work autonomously as well as part of an interdisciplinary team.
A few of the highlights of the position are included below:
- Participate in researching the effectiveness of the BHIP programs, which includes literature reviews, chart reviews, and data management;
- Analyze quantitative and qualitative data to drive clinical and operational decisions;
- Implementation of research study protocols;
- Gain exposure to the cutting-edge field of integrated primary care and familiarity with medical records;
- Mentoring from clinical and research-oriented professionals;
- Assist in the preparation of conference presentations and/or manuscripts summarizing study results (authorship opportunity may be available);
- Training and orienting volunteer staff to operational and clinical workflows
- Full Benefits, Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays;
- In-person/remote hybrid schedule;
- Preferred start date: Fall/Winter 2026/2027;
- Annual salary range: $70,000

About Montefiore Medical Center
Commitment to Excellence
As the academic medical center and University Hospital for Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center is nationally recognized for clinical excellence—breaking new ground in research, training the next generation of healthcare leaders, and delivering science-driven, patient-centered care.
Montefiore is ranked among the top hospitals nationally and regionally by U.S. News & World Report. For more than 100 years we have been innovating new treatments, new procedures and new approaches to patient care, producing stellar outcomes and raising the bar for medical centers in the region and around the world. As we build on this momentum, we continue to advance the practice of medicine and set the standard for excellence.
Enduring Mission and Distinguished History
The mission of Montefiore is to heal, to teach, to discover and to advance the health of the communities we serve.
From its beginning in 1884, as a facility for the care of patients with tuberculosis and other chronic illnesses, to the new millennium, Montefiore has been at the forefront of patient care, research and education and steadfast commitment to its community.
Our Services
We provide coordinated, compassionate and leading-edge care designed to reach people when and where they need it most. Through highly integrated teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals and other caregivers, we have created an innovative, seamless system of care focused around the patient.
Notable Centers of Excellence
At the intersection of Einstein science and Montefiore medicine is our commitment to scientific inquiry. This commitment has resulted in the creation of the Montefiore-Einstein Centers of Excellence in cancer care, cardiovascular services, transplantation and children’s health, where nationally recognized investigators and multidisciplinary clinical teams collaborate to develop and deliver advanced, innovative care.
Advanced Specialty and Surgical Care
We offer advanced, multidisciplinary care across specialties, delivering one standard of excellence for all. Our interventions are designed to help patients understand and manage their illness, advocate for their health, access the right treatments and receive the vital social support they need to flourish. On multiple fronts, Montefiore is developing more effective and less invasive approaches to complex problems from procedures to repair diseased hearts, protocols to treat complex cancers and medical devices designed to meet the needs of growing children.
Primary Care
With nearly 50 primary care locations throughout the New York metropolitan area, we are focusing on accessible, patient-centered primary and preventive care provided by leading physicians in the areas of family and internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and a team of experts in nursing, health education, nutrition and pharmacy.
Providing Care Without Walls
Montefiore combines its deep commitment to the community with nationally-renowned expertise to reach people in locations easiest for them. Through Montefiore’s School Health Program (MSHP), Primary Care at Home programs, mobile medical and dental health vans and health education initiatives, Montefiore provides primary care services in non-traditional settings.
Through the formation of highly integrated teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals, care managers and other caregivers, we provide care around the patient, when and where they need it.
Research and Education
Montefiore's partnership with Einstein advances clinical and translational research to accelerate the pace at which new discoveries become the treatments and therapies that benefit patients. Together, the two institutions are among 38 academic medical centers nationwide to be awarded a prestigious Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) by the National Institutes of Health.
The second-largest medical residency program in the country, with 1,251 residents and fellows across 89 programs, Montefiore provides the doctors of tomorrow a unique opportunity for education and training in one of the most diverse urban areas in the country — one where the population is global, the disease burden is high, and the need for quality care is great.
The partnership is further strengthened by the dual appointments of faculty and physicians across both organizations—enhancing synergies and collaborations for research, teaching and patient care.
Comprehensive Care Management
Since 1996, Montefiore has developed advanced models of care management to help patients, especially those with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart failure and mental illness, achieve better health and improved wellbeing in a cost effective way. Montefiore goes beyond fragmented fee-for-service payments, assuming total responsibility for the quality and costs of care for some of our sickest patients.
Through CMO, Montefiore Care Management, we use a global prepayment or similar strategies to manage care for 200,000 individuals over the continuum, including hospital care, rehabilitation, outpatient care, professional services, home care, mental health counseling, community-based services, remote patient monitoring and many other programs.
Our leadership in coordinating care across multiple settings has earned us federal recognition from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a Pioneer Accountable Care Organization. Montefiore's ACO is one of only 32 organizations in the nation, as well as the only one in New York State, to operate under this new model of providing Medicare beneficiaries with higher quality care, while reducing expenditures through enhanced care coordination.
