Substance Use Teaching Project: Integrating Addiction Medicine Curriculum into Internal Medicine Program

In her community-based Internal Medicine residency program, Dr. Mobley created a multifaceted educational program that integrated addiction medicine topics into the existing learning environment of residents and faculty. This included case-based learning throughout the year, to equip learners to screen, diagnose, and treat opioid, cannabis, alcohol, and stimulant use disorders.  Her preliminary pre/post evaluation found that her educational program had a strongly significant impact on resident comfort in managing the care of patients with substance use disorders.

“Dr. Mobley…has remarkably achieved transformative culture change around patients with substance use disorders while enduring the rigors of residency training.” (Laurel Fick, MD – Former Internal Medicine Residency Program Director)
