Educational half day: an innovative way to incorporate substance abuse curriculum into residency training.
Internal medicine residents often come across substance use disorder (SUD) issues; however not all residency programs have curricula to educate residents on management of these issues. We hereby describe a curricular action plan incorporating an innovative method of Educational Half Day (EHD) to address SUD issues in small group settings. We believe that EHD is an effective way of addressing substance abuse issues in the residency curriculum and it has the potential to change the way residents manage their patients with SUD.
