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.

It was very well put together with a great amount of detail. With all the information, they did an amazing job breaking it all down and maintaining very engaging videos.

What a brilliant course! Just one critique/concern: The Black doctor's lectures did not have the YALE watermark on them. This felt exclusionary and felt like racism towards her.

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.
