Geisinger 获得联邦拨款，与赖特中心合作开展成瘾医学研究金培训
美国卫生与公众服务部下属机构美国卫生资源与服务管理局 (HRSA) 向 Geisinger 颁发了 2,759,235 美元的奖金，用于通过与莱特社区卫生和医学研究生教育中心 (The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education) 合作，扩大其成瘾医学奖学金计划。
这笔联邦拨款将用于增加和加强宾夕法尼亚州中部和东北部的药物使用障碍治疗。成瘾医学研究员将在宾夕法尼亚州中部和东北部有明显需求的 16 个地区进行培训，其中包括六个吸毒过量率高于全国平均水平（每 10 万人 21.7 次）的县。这些县包括哥伦比亚县、拉克瓦纳县、卢泽恩县、莱康明县、门罗县和蒙托尔县。
"我们非常感谢这笔资金，它将帮助我们招募和培训医生，以满足药物使用障碍患者的需求，无论这些患者在哪里就诊，"Geisinger 的成瘾医学科主任 Margaret Jarvis 医学博士说。"这笔赠款特别针对社区环境和远程医疗，这两个领域更有可能为农村和医疗服务不足的人群所使用，同时解决了 HRSA 提出的所有三个至关重要的优先事项，包括应对阿片类药物危机、转变劳动力和扩大远程医疗服务。
“Our local community is in the throes of an opioid epidemic. The Wright Center is dedicated to building a compassionate, highly qualified workforce that understands how to help vulnerable patients most at-risk of suffering from addiction, including pregnant women, the elderly, and veterans. We are grateful for the learning opportunities that will come from our strategic partnership with Geisinger,” said Jumee Barooah, M.D., Designated Institutional Official for The Wright Center.
拟议项目将
- 增加 Geisinger 戒毒医学研究员计划每年培养出的获得委员会认证的戒毒医学医师人数。
- Expand training opportunities in The Wright Center’s community-based clinical learning environments, including its Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence (OUD-COE), its Ryan White HIV/AIDS Clinic and its network of primary care practices that offer comprehensive, safety-net services including medical, dental, addiction/recovery and behavioral health. GHS addiction medicine fellows will learn with and from The Wright Center’s skilled physician-faculty, including Addiction Medicine board-certified providers; staff trained in OUD-COE best practices; and residents and fellows studying Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Psychiatry, Gastroenterology, Infectious Disease, Dental and Behavioral Health. Fellows will care for patients served by The Wright Center’s OUD-COE and its related recovery support programs, including the Healthy MOMS (Maternal Opiate Medical Support) initiative; contribute to the community’s understanding of best practices in Addiction Medicine for underserved patient populations and their families; and lead Addiction Medicine-focused quality-improvement studies to identify real-time clinical solutions to substance use disorder workflow challenges.
- Reach new patient populations through geographic expansion, increased use of telehealth, and service delivery on rotations including obstetrics/gynecology.
目前的计划每年培训两名研究员，大部分培训在东北部进行。 通过此次扩展，Geisinger 将在资助期内再培训 21 名医生（共 31 名），为 OUD 和其他药物使用障碍患者提供循证护理。
