Target Audience: This activity is designed for Dentists, Dental Students and Educators. This activity is accredited for Physicians, Dentists, Other Health Professionals and Other Learners.
This curriculum is an educational initiative led by the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) and a national coalition within the Opioid Response Network grant funded by SAMHSA, including Columbia University Division of Pathophysiology and Treatment Research, as part of efforts to address the public health crisis of Opioid and other Substance Use Disorders (SUD).
Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based approach to managing patients with or at risk for SUD. This is a standardized core curriculum in SUD and SBIRT, designed for U.S. dental schools. Dental students who take and pass the curriculum modules would have achieved an understanding of the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes needed to carry out SBIRT in a dental setting.
Educational Objectives:
- Review and define the term “substance use disorders”.
- Implement screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for patients with or at risk for substance use disorders.
- State the rationale for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) in a dental setting.
- Practice performing universal Screening for patients with or at risk of substance use disorders.
- Deliver Brief Intervention for patients with or at risk of substance use disorders.
- Utilize personalized Referral to Treatment for patients with an SUD.
- Demonstrate how to achieve continuity of care for patients with an SUD.
The curriculum consists of three core modules supported by resource and reference materials
- Module 1 – Foundational Knowledge
- Module 2 – Case-Based Learning
- Module 3 – Virtual Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
It is recommended that learners proceed sequentially through the modules, beginning with Module 1. However, learners may elect to focus on a particular module depending on their interests and personal learning objectives.
Methodology:
The methodology employed for this curriculum is designed to achieve a spectrum of continuity in instruction, knowledge acquisition, and skill proficiency in the management of patients with SUD. Educational approaches include a seminar-type presentation, case-based exercises and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination, all organized into modules.
