The Hawai'i Island Family Health Center (HIFHC) is located in Hilo, Hawai'i and is home to the HHSC Primary Care Training Program which consists of a multi-disciplinary training site for family medicine residents, advanced practice nursing students, pharmacy students, health psychology students, and medical students. The SBIRT Hawai'i project at HIFHC expects to train approximately 50 learners in the first year and upwards of 150 over the 3 year grant award. HIFHC hopes to use SBIRT to create a more formal curriculum for its learners thus expanding pre-existing behavioral health services for the clinic population. Learners who participate in SBIRT training at HIFHC will bring their experience to their home institutions, future job sites and hopefully continue to utilize these skills in future patient encounters. HIFHC serves a diverse population of patients who live in and around Hilo. Project Goals include implementing a new curriculum for teaching about SUDs, delivering SBIRT for the full continuum of substance abuse disorders in an observed training environment, and measuring the effectiveness and quality of training in participating students.
