Educational Activities
The faculty of the Division of Substance Dependence assumes a major role in teaching about substance use disorders to medical students, psychiatry residents, psychiatric community, and citizens of the community, state, and nation. Through its Addiction Research and Treatment Service the Division supports the education each year of one Addiction Fellow, a psychiatrist receiving subspecialty training in substance dependence.
Through the Psychiatry Scholars Program, Division Faculty serve as mentors to medical students wishing to fulfill their independent learning requirement.
At scientific and clinical meetings the Division’s faculty continually teach other scientists about advances at our center, while learning from those scientists and clinicians the latest research findings from elsewhere.
