In 2023, a research team at the University of Cincinnati launched a clinic-based training experience within a UC resident primary care practice. They set out to integrate addiction treatment into primary care to address substance use disorders.
A study recently published in Academic Medicine, evaluated data from the clinic’s first 15 weeks, including both patient care metrics and resident education outcomes. Opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder were among the most common diagnoses.
On Cincinnati Edition, we speak to a resident and a physician involved in the clinic and hear why integrating substance use disorder care is important for medical students as well as patients.
Guests:
- Dr. Michael Binder, MD, physician and associate professor of medicine, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
- Dr. Stephen Feagins, MD, medical director, Hamilton County Public Health
- Ellen Jochum, chief physician resident, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
