“…( 2016 , 2018 ) mapped the university-based addiction studies programmes in Europe and the United States ( Pavlovská et al , 2016 ; Pavlovská et al , 2018 ). While not specifically focused on a particular country or setting, our review is the first to examine self-assessed training needs of early career professionals working in the field of addiction medicine internationally ( Arya et al , 2019 ).…”

Background: Substance use disorders represent a significant social and economic burden globally. Accurate diagnosis and treatment by early career professionals in addiction medicine (ECPAM) falls short, in part, due to a lack of training programmes targeting this career stage. Prior research has highlighted the need to assess the specific training needs of ECPAM. Therefore, this focused review assessed self-reported training needs of ECPAM. Methods: Medical and medical education databases (Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, PSYCHInfo, BEI, and AEI) were searched to June 2018 for studies reporting self-reported training needs of ECPAM (trained at most five years before assessment occurred). Retrieved citations were screened for eligibility; two independent researchers reviewed included studies, assessed quality and extracted data. Experts reviewed study findings. Results: Of 1364 identified records, three cross-sectional studies were included, originating from China, USA and England. All studies surveyed ECPAM using self-reported questionnaires, with one study including face-to-face interviews. Participants included residents, physicians and social workers. All studies had a low risk of bias, and reported a wide range of training needs including rehabilitation, relapse prevention, buprenorphine treatment and risk assessment. Conclusions: There is little evidence for and substantial heterogeneity of training needs of ECPAM found in this review, particularly at the level of skills and knowledge. Study quality varies greatly. ECPAM training needs assessments are a priority.

“…Most of the published studies from LMIC have been focused on short duration training and capacity building initiatives and on a specific addictive disorder. Such programs are usually short-term with focus on a narrow set of aims and planned with limited consideration of future training needs (Arya et al, 2020). There is limited literature on structured residency programs in addiction psychiatry/medicine.…”

Background: Addictive disorders are a significant contributor to the global burden of disease. The burden of addictive disorders in LMIC is expected to grow further over the coming years. Aims:In this article we present the observations from the existing literature on the current status of education and training on addiction psychiatry in LMIC and provide recommendation on way forward for this specialized field of psychiatry. Materials and Methods: We searched electronic databases of PubMed to access the literature on the current status of education and training on addiction psychiatry. Additional searches were also conducted in other database of Google Scholar for potential 'grey' literature. Results: We were able to identify a total of 11 relevant articles. Discussion: Currently there is limited published literature on education and training on addiction psychiatry from the LMICs. Conclusions: Strengthening of the training on addictive disorders shall not only help bridge the gap of the unmet need for the evidence-based interventions of addictive disorders across these countries it shall also help enhance the research capacity on addictive disorders in these countries.

“… 8 The availability of fellowship in addiction medicine is scarce in low resource settings, despite having a higher burden of SUD. 9 The online platform may turn out to be a boon in such settings. Surveys have found that 80% of the students of the current generation use social media on a daily basis, 20% of whom use it for studying, sharing online material and information, and organizing meetings/peer classes.…”

“…Although the existing curricula emphasize the need to integrate addiction psychiatry into other specialties, this has not yet been accomplished because of the inability to accommodate on-site training in addiction psychiatry on a large scale. 9 Furthermore, there is a limited number of trained professionals in addiction psychiatry to impart training and match the exponential rise in substance-related disorders across the globe, particularly in low-resource settings. 6 , 7 Hence, there is a need to consider alternatives, such as internet-based learning, to address the dearth of human resources.…”

Background and Aim: Distance learning techniques are gaining popularity as the internet today is a faster and more convenient source of spreading exhaustive information. We aim at conducting a scoping review on the utility of internet-based learning in addiction psychiatry. Methods: We performed a systematic search of databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Cochrane using the following keywords: Distance education, substance related disorder, teaching, internet, along with the MeSH terms (“Internet” AND “Teaching” AND “Substance Related Disorders”) OR (“Distance Education” AND “Substance Related Disorders”). The reference lists of articles were searched for other relevant literature. Results: A total of 34 studies were included. Most of the courses offered online were on specific therapies, for example, training on motivational interviewing, twelve-step facilitation, cognitive behavioral therapy, alcohol screening, and brief intervention. They were based on various aspects of distance learning such as the acquisition of knowledge or skills, feasibility, level of satisfaction of the trainees/students, the cost-effectiveness of the techniques, and the type of trainees who have access to the course. The majority of the studies showed positive findings in terms of the parameter being studied. However, the level of satisfaction among the students is questionable. Conclusion: Internet-based teaching programs provide a good alternative to traditional educational methods in terms of effectiveness, feasibility, and acquisition of knowledge and skills. We emphasize the use of internet-based training in addiction psychiatry reinforced by actual practical experiences.
