The California Academy of Family Physicians led a collaboration of California residency programs (Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, ObGyn and Psychiatry) to improve education, outreach and treatment for patients with substance use disorder disease, including stimulants and opioids, with a focus on medication assisted treatment options.
The learning collaborative enhanced training for resident and faculty physicians, while encouraging creative and innovative approaches to meet local program and community needs. Projects identified methods to improve or advance the standard of care for these patients, demonstrated how to best implement those methods, and evaluated the outcomes of those efforts.
This project received funding from the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This project concluded in September 2024.
