“Our findings provide a consensus opinion that was derived from interviews with a panel of international scholars on a core set of principles for progression of knowledge, attitude, and skills in addiction medicine to be developed throughout medical education. This is particularly important for the development of new addiction medicine curricula and enhancement of available courses. If applied, our findings would have profound effects on the quality of medical education and subsequent clinical care provided to patients with substance use disorders worldwide.”
