Substance Use Disorder and Harm Reduction Curriculum in United States and Canadian Undergraduate Medical Education: An Online Survey
We found large curricular gaps related to the administration of medications for opioid use disorder and treating opioid overdose and withdrawal, as well as a significant prevalence of stigmatizing attitudes. Renewed efforts are needed to implement comprehensive and destigmatizing SUD curricula. The study is limited by response bias and is expected to overestimate the extent of HR related curriculum, indicating the true gap is likely higher than reported.
