The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recently announced the establishment of the Addiction Medicine Fellowship Program, which trains physicians to become addiction medicine specialists.
The program aims to expand the number of fellows at accredited Addiction Medicine Fellowship (AMF) and Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship (APF) programs. Program participants will be trained to work in underserved, community-based settings that provide primary care services, along with mental health disorder and substance use disorder services.
$23 million will be awarded to 28 fellows over a five-year period through this program. Applicants must be based at an accredited AMF or APF program. The sponsoring institution must be accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education.
For more information and to access the application, members are encouraged to visit the HRSA website.
Members with questions may contact Lauren LaPine at the MHA.
