Addiction Medicine Training
Addiction medicine training has expanded with ACGME fellowships, X-waiver elimination and the inclusion of addiction in core medical education. The session covers ACGME fellowship growth, the addiction-medicine vs addiction-psychiatry distinction, board-certification pathways (ABPM/ABPN), undergraduate medical-education curriculum reform, residency training requirements, faculty-development programmes, and the workforce-expansion strategies needed to meet treatment demand. Discussion addresses CME requirements for opioid prescribers after MATE Act implementation, training in MAT in primary care and emergency medicine, advanced practice nursing addiction-medicine credentialing, and global addiction-medicine training models including ISAM and WHO-supported initiatives.
