Objective
The aim of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of a pilot, experiential learning, substance use disorder (SUD) curriculum embedded into a third-year medical student obstetrics and gynecology clerkship to improve self-reported confidence in SUD clinical skills.
Findings/Key points
The integration of interventional curriculums into medical school and residency programs could be an effective avenue to reinforce addiction knowledge and teach new skills. This practical 1-day pilot curriculum demonstrated preliminary effectiveness at introducing third-year medical students to the complexities of SUD in pregnancy and postpartum.
Design/methods
Third-year medical students on their obstetrics and gynecology clerkship (n=63) rotated 1 full day through the OB MOTIVATE clinic between August 2020 and April 2022 and completed this curriculum.
