NATIVIDAD SBIRT MEDICAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM - The primary purpose of the Natividad SBIRT Medical Residency Program is to develop, implement, integrate and evaluate a sustainable cross-cultural training program to teach medical residents skills to provide evidence-based screening, brief intervention, brief treatment and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for patients who have, or are at risk for, a substance use disorder with emphasis on youth, Latinos and seniors in both clinical and community-based settings. The program goals for the SBIRT program are to successfully train residents to understand substance use disorders from a medical and public health perspective; support residents in developing transferable medical practice competencies, including SBIRT and Motivational Interviewing (MI) skills; and build competencies by working with diverse populations. Natividad's Family Medicine Resident Physicians have the unique opportunity to practice medicine in primary care settings including family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, psychiatry and community medicine. Residents will also have the opportunity to conduct screening and brief intervention with vulnerable populations, including youth, Latinos and seniors in a variety of community-based settings. With an additional year of grant funding, the Natividad SBIRT Medical Residency Program will ensure formal incorporation of SBIRT into Monterey County's new integrated safety net service delivery system. An additional year of funding through the SAMHSA Cooperative Agreement will also allow the Natividad SBIRT Medical Residency Program to train more residents and implement a variety of strategies to sustain the teaching program, including more fully developing Faculty Training in SBIRT.
