Online Training on Substance Abuse Offered to all Health Sciences Students

An online training curriculum focused on addressing opioid and other substance use disorders is now available for all University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences schools. Centered on destigmatizing patient substance use and integrating cultural humility, the curriculum establishes a framework for patient care and delivery in clinical experiences and addresses racial and ethnic inequities in substance use treatment and care. The course was piloted in the fall by Mary Hawk in her Harm Reduction course.
