Other Training Components

Substance Use Teaching Project

SUTP Discussion - Sarah

Participants meet one-on-one with course faculty to develop a teaching project that can be implemented after the immersion training.  For example, chiefs could conduct a workshop for residents on mutual help treatment (e.g. Narcotics Anonymous [NA], Alcoholics Anonymous [AA]) and have the residents attend an NA meeting.

A Chief Resident participant will be awarded the annual  “Richard Saitz, MD, MPH CARE Program Achievement Award” based on their Substance Use Teaching Project (SUTP) quality (breadth, promotion of evidence-based care, and impact) and degree of completion at 10 months post-CRIT.
