Substance use disorders are a growing concern within the United States, especially with the increasing deaths from drug overdose. Currently, there is a lack of thorough addiction education and training, especially for psychiatry residents. A training program was created to address this need by providing evidence-based addiction training through an integrative behavioral health model while using a culturally responsive approach. This training program was called ACCESS (Achieving Culturally Competent and Equitable Substance Use Services).
The training program was offered to psychiatry residents to participate in for an academic year. During this time, the residents engaged in didactic lectures, provided care at an experiential site, and led a quality improvement or clinical innovation project. After completing of the program, the residents took part in a qualitative interview with the purpose of seeing how their experiences in the program aligned with the program’s purpose.
The ACCESS Program successfully provided the residents with addiction training through an IBH model. However, moving forward, the program may need to fine-tune its qualitative measure to be more reflective of its aims. In addition, the program may need to be carried out in different settings that could provide a more substantial and less biased sample of residents.
