摘要

Background

As the opioid epidemic continues to progress, identifying clinical opportunities to train the healthcare workforce is key. Integrating trainees into an existing Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) consult service presents an opportunity to meet this need.

Methods

From 7/2021 to 6/2023, 34 trainees (24 residents/fellows, 10 medical students) completed a 2-week OUD consult service elective. A post-elective survey assessed 4 domains: success meeting learning objectives, preparedness to manage inpatient OUD, clinical exposure to consult scenarios, and attitudes towards people who use drugs (PWUD).

Results

Twenty-five rotators completed the survey (74% response rate). After the elective, most agreed they had adequate training in OUD (80%) and felt prepared to diagnose (96%) and treat (92%) OUD. Learning objectives were met, clinical exposure was “just right” (91%), and rotators generally had positive attitudes towards PWUD.

Conclusions

An OUD consult service elective experience was associated with trainee confidence in managing OUD and little stigma toward PWUD.
