Students will take part in an interactive, simulated overview of SBIRT (screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment for substance misuse). Participants will learn, apply and test their knowledge through simulated/role-play observation, interactive discussion, and case scenarios. The goal of this course is to help participants develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities in using the SBIRT intervention with patients, including those with opioid use disorders.
Instructional Strategy: Lecture/Discussion, Simulation, Demonstration, 2 hours
Learning Objectives
- Examine why it is important to identify and address substance use disorders during the clinical session
- Identify key components of SBIRT
- Practice the necessary steps involved in proper screening, brief intervention, and the referral to treatment process
