The SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions (CIHS), in collaborated with the Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) Network and the Morehouse School of Medicine National Center for Primary Care, has developed a 5-hour self-paced online course for addiction treatment professionals considering career opportunities in primary care. The free course provides these professionals with resources and information to help them decide whether working in a primary care setting is right for them.
Of interest to individuals currently in training to provide substance abuse services, as well as practicing substance abuse treatment professionals, the online course follows four modules:
- What are key aspects of the primary care culture?
- What new language will I need to learn?
- What is my role and what difference can I make?
- What does it take for an addiction professional to succeed in a primary care environment?
