The 2022 National Drug Control Strategy (PDF | 2.6 MB) (NDCS) includes, among other efforts, one activity to expand the substance use disorder (SUD) health professions workforce through development of a core curriculum on SUD. The curriculum is for all medical and health professions programs so that every student is educated early in their academic careers on SUD and has basic knowledge of strategies to identify, assess, intervene, and treat addiction, as well as support recovery.
Funding for this initiative was made possible by grant no. 1H79TI083022 from SAMHSA.
