Our mission is to train family medicine doctors to provide exceptional, compassionate, patient-centered, trauma-informed addiction treatment. Our program trains fellows in this comprehensive and personalized model of addiction medicine that optimizes and offers the best health care for each patient and the diverse communities we serve.
The fellowship is integrated into the family medicine residency site and has access to full spectrum multi-disciplinary services including pharmacology, social services, integrative medicine, and behavioral health. Our community partners round out the experience with opportunities to participate in sites offering more intensive treatment including complicated pain management and care for those suffering from co-occurring mental health problems. Our focus is on full-spectrum care across the lifespan for those suffering from SUD that includes maternity and newborn care, as well as providing care for adolescents with SUD. Graduates of the fellowship will be uniquely qualified to serve as consultants, educators, and role models to other primary care providers.
