“This study examined the implementation of a Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) training curriculum, SMaRT, within family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, and pediatric residency programs. While the core curriculum was standard across programs, the curriculum could be modified with optional content, and presented in a number of different modes (e.g., online, face-to-face via group or individual conferences, or a hybrid of the two) to accommodate the residents, faculty, and available program resources. This is significant in that adaptable curricula, such as SMaRT, may be a viable step towards developing a nationwide training program that can more effectively and efficiently disseminate SBIRT practices across healthcare education institutions and therefore the healthcare system as a whole.”
