About the Course

This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders. By delving into a model case performed by actors, seven Yale instructors from various fields provide techniques to screen your patients for substance use disorder risk, diagnose patients to gauge the severity of their use, directly manage treatment plans, refer out to treatment services, and navigate the various conditions that may limit your patient’s access to treatment. You will ultimately be prepared to provide compassionate and evidence-based care to a large population of patients living with addiction— a chronic, often relapsing-remitting disease, but a treatable one. This course is supported in part by SAMHSA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of financial assistance awards from grant #1H79FG000023 totaling $249,900 and grant #3H79TI081968-02S1 from SAMHSA totaling $1,354,651 with 100 percent funded by SAMHSA/HHS.

This is a terrific course that challenges personal biases and educates the learner regarding care in terms of medications and treatment assessments, options, plans and more

This course will serve me in practice, personal life, and as a resource to come back to when I have questions. Thanks for the well organized and very informative, evidence based, information.

Información verídica basada en evidencia, lo único que la mayoría de tratamientos completos a los que hacen referencia aplican solo para EU y probablemente para países de primer mundo en general. Me habría gustado más profundización en el módulo 5

There are many people affected by substance abuse in my community, by taking this course I wanted to gain more knowledge about diagnosis and newest treatments. Well organized course that I was able to complete at my own pace, thank you!

I loved this course in many ways but I felt that the things they talked about and stated as evidence-based I wish there were links to the research articles or articles given for download on them.

Too much related to the situaton in the US.

Less useful in other parts of the world.

But nevertheless I did enjoy the course and took many useful hints for my work.

Good clinical skills but could have more information. It was straight to the point however and not a waste of time.

I believe there should be some treated alcoholics/addicts who are members of 12 step groups included in this panel of professionals. 12 step programs would benefit by learning from medical professionals. This would increase the efficacy of both treatments and reduce the polarised view that 12 step programs have a high failure rate because they are not 'evidence based' and that medication wont' help in addiction/alcoholism. AA sends people to doctors, doctors to AA.

It took me 20+ hours to complete this course.The main information could have been imparted in 3-4 hours. There were lots of redundancies.but the speakers were very knowledgable
