This project seeks to increase the number of nurse practitioner (NP), physician assistant (PA), and medical (MD) students at Seton Hall University (SHU), Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine (HMSOM), and Monmouth University (MU) completing the DATA waiver required training and increase the number of NPs, PAs and physicians delivering Medication-Assisted Treatment in NJ by providing an approved interprofessional curriculum and training program. The project will also address health disparities and social determinants of health of underserved, vulnerable populations, including blacks living in urban communities with high mortality rates due to overdose, by revising the curriculum and providing clinicals at sites in Newark, NJ including Integrity House, Broadway House, the Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris, Inc., and Saint James Health.
