“…11 One solution to these problems lies in addiction medicine consult services, 12 multidisciplinary teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, and counselors, who play an important role in hospital-based addictions care. 13 These teams provide comprehensive SUD treatment at what is often the first point of entry to the health care system, as well as experiential learning opportunities to emerging health care professionals. 12 Although hands-on experiential learning has been shown to improve provider knowledge and attitudes towards people who use drugs, 14,15 the effect of training experiences on hospital-based addiction medicine teams has not been fully characterized.…”

Background: Hospital-based clinical addiction medicine training can improve knowledge of clinical care for substance using populations. However, application of structured, self-assessment tools to evaluate differences in knowledge gained by learners who participate in such training has not yet been addressed. Methods: Participants (N=142) of an elective with the hospital-based Addiction Medicine Consult Team (AMCT) in Vancouver, Canada, responded to an online self-evaluation survey before and immediately after the structured elective. Areas covered included substance use screening, history taking, signs and symptoms examination, withdrawal treatment, relapse prevention, nicotine use disorders, opioid use disorders, safe prescribing, and the biology of substance use disorders. A purposefully selected sample of 18 trainees were invited to participate in qualitative interviews that elicited feedback on the rotation. Results: Of 168 invited trainees, 142 (84.5%) completed both pre-and post-rotation selfassessments between May 2015 and May 2017. Follow-up participants included medical students, residents, addiction medicine fellows, and family physicians in practice. Self-assessed knowledge of addiction medicine increased significantly post-rotation (mean difference [MD] in scores =

“…4 A multidisciplinary hospital addiction medicine consultative service plays an important role in clinical care and the treatment of SUDs. 5,6 Barriers to training clinicians in addiction medicine in this setting include lack of mentoring and hands-on clinical experience. [7][8][9] Experiential learning has been shown to improve both physician knowledge and attitudes towards working in various settings with people with SUDs.…”

Background Implementation of evidence-based approaches to the treatment of various substance use disorders is needed to tackle the existing epidemic of substance use and related harms. Most clinicians, however, lack knowledge and practical experience with these approaches. Given this deficit, the authors examined the impact of an inpatient elective in addiction medicine amongst medical trainees on addiction-related knowledge and medical management. Methods Trainees who completed an elective with a hospital-based Addiction Medicine Consult Team (AMCT) in Vancouver, Canada from May 2015–May 2016, completed a nine-item self-evaluation scale before and immediately after the elective. Results A total of 48 participants completed both pre and post AMCT elective surveys. On average, participants were 28 years old (Inter Quartile Range [IQR] = 27–29), and contributed 20 days (IQR = 13–27) of clinical service. Knowledge of addiction medicine increased significantly post elective [mean difference (MD) = 8.63, standard deviation (SD) = 18.44; P = 0.002]. The most and the least improved areas of knowledge were relapse prevention and substance use screening, respectively. Conclusions Completion of a clinical elective with a hospital-based Addiction Medicine Consult Team appears to improve medical trainees’ addiction-related knowledge. Further evaluation and expansion of addiction medicine education is warranted to develop the next generation of skilled addiction care providers.
