Experiences of Trainees From Underrepresented Groups Within Addiction Medicine Training Programs: A Qualitative Study
We identified themes emphasizing addiction medicine program successes in creating welcoming educational environments, while also prioritizing areas for improvement around topic inclusion, faculty development and representation, and mentorship. Our results offer critical insights into the priorities and views of the next generation of the physician addiction medicine/research workforce and how to effectively improve DEIA efforts within training programs.
