About the Course

This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders. By delving into a model case performed by actors, seven Yale instructors from various fields provide techniques to screen your patients for substance use disorder risk, diagnose patients to gauge the severity of their use, directly manage treatment plans, refer out to treatment services, and navigate the various conditions that may limit your patient’s access to treatment. You will ultimately be prepared to provide compassionate and evidence-based care to a large population of patients living with addiction— a chronic, often relapsing-remitting disease, but a treatable one. This course is supported in part by SAMHSA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of financial assistance awards from grant #1H79FG000023 totaling $249,900 and grant #3H79TI081968-02S1 from SAMHSA totaling $1,354,651 with 100 percent funded by SAMHSA/HHS.

This was a pretty incredible course. I made several corrections throughout so hopefully those can be used to improve it for future students, but I was very grateful to be able to learn what the actual cutting edge research says.

So comprehensive. The mix of panel discussions, a session with a patient, and lectures made the course engaging and interesting. Humble experts were a plus. The quizzes were fair but definitely tested your knowledge.

Informative and constructively challenging. This course taught me a lot that I was unaware of and also helped me to see more clearly where in the health care system I can work and help make a difference in my community.
