The University of South Carolina School of Medicine - Greenville (UofSCSOMG) Project EXPAND: Enriching eXperiences by Providing addiction learning in New Directions has a goal to expand access to medication for addiction treatment (MAT) services for persons with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) through ensuring expanded and enhanced education and innovated training of medical students and residents, as well as waivered prescribers in SC who have not prescribed. Measurable objectives designed to increase the number of MAT providers: 1. By September 29, 2024, we will have the AAAP PCSS approved DATA waiver training implemented into the standard four-year medical school curriculum. 2. Provide all medical-students with the required 8-hour PCSS DATA waiver training by graduation. Target is 99% of each year's graduating students - 100/year. 3. Create and implement additional innovative opportunities for M1-M4 that encompass motivational interviewing and trauma-informed care using didactic, experiential, and simulation-based educational experiences. Target is 99% of all medical students (M1-M4) -400/year. 4.Collaborate with FAVOR Greenville to expose a minimum of 100 students annually to recovery and OUD's effect on the individuals, families, and the community. 5. Create an annual train-the-trainer educational opportunity with PCSS and Prisma Health to increase the number of MAT providers and trainers in the region to sustain physicians and faculty's education on MAT. Target is to increase the number of trainers in the region by 2/year. 6. Increase the number of trained individuals who obtain a DATA waiver and the number of trained individuals who prescribe MAT. Target is 20% of all trained - 24/year.
