The California Academy of Family Physicians leads 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 enhances training for resident and faculty physicians while encourages creative and innovative approaches to meet local program and community needs. Projects identify methods to improve or advance the standard of care for these patients, demonstrate how best to implement those methods, and evaluate the outcomes of these efforts.
This project receives funding from the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
