This faculty development program significantly improved primary care providers' knowledge and skills in addressing substance abuse and AIDS. Participants reported enhanced teaching abilities six months post-program.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health
  • Substance Abuse Treatment

Background:

  • Primary care faculty require specialized training to effectively address complex health issues like substance abuse and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
  • Existing educational approaches may not adequately prepare faculty to manage the clinical and interpersonal challenges associated with these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a faculty development program on primary care faculty's knowledge, skills, and educational strategies related to substance abuse and AIDS.
  • To evaluate the program's effectiveness in enhancing provider-patient interactions and teaching methodologies.

Main Methods:

  • A three-day intensive faculty development program was conducted, combining didactic (40%) and experiential (60%) learning.

  • The curriculum focused on clinical issues, provider-patient communication, and educational approaches for substance abuse and HIV infection.
  • Role-playing scenarios with simulated patients affected by substance abuse and HIV were utilized.

    • Main Results:

    • 109 primary care faculty participated across four courses, reporting high educational quality (4.4/5.0) and usefulness (4.2/5.0).
    • At six-month follow-up, 75% of participants indicated an improvement in their teaching practices.
    • The program successfully increased participants' knowledge and skills in managing substance abuse and AIDS.

    Conclusions:

    • The faculty development program is an effective strategy for enhancing primary care faculty's capacity to teach about substance abuse and AIDS.
    • This training improves both clinical knowledge and practical teaching skills, leading to better patient care education.
    • Continued investment in such programs is crucial for advancing medical education in critical public health areas.
