Partnering with Psychiatry to Close the Education Gap: An Approach to the Addiction Epidemic.
Journal of General Internal Medicine 2017 December
Addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S., yet the workforce prepared to care for this population is woefully inadequate. Of the 23 million Americans suffering from addiction, only 11% receive treatment, creating a substantial treatment gap. There have been calls to improve addiction education at all levels of training in order to prepare medical providers with the skills to identify patients with substance use, briefly treat if indicated, and/or refer more complex cases to specialty care. These calls have been put forth to address the education gap, wherein physicians in training are exposed to numerous patients who are suffering from addiction but have few curricular hours dedicated to the identification and management of this population. We propose that strategic partnerships between psychiatry and internal medicine can address the education gap that exists with regard to addiction, ultimately addressing the treatment gap which is plaguing this country.
