The PCSS-U South Dakota project’s primary goal will be to increase access to OUD and SUD treatment across South Dakota with an emphasis on treatment in rural and underserved areas. To accomplish this goal, USD will develop and implement an experience-oriented opioid use disorder and substance use disorder curriculum. This curriculum will provide USD’s medical and physician assistant studies students with the knowledge and confidence to diagnose and treat opioid use disorder and other substance use disorders. This curriculum will be developed in partnership with the Center for Family Medicine in Sioux Falls which has years of experience treating opioid and other substance use disorders in the state. They will also assist USD with integrating medication for opioid use training into our other residency programs. USD will also host an annual DATA waiver training for the medical and PA students to make them “waiver ready” upon graduation. Finally, USD will work to increase recruitment and retention of substance use providers in the state by developing a resource hub and offering continuing education through an annual conference on substance abuse.
