Intervention to Address Healthcare Worker Based Stigma in Hospitals

Recorded: Thursday, April 4, 2024 to Sunday, April 7, 2024
On-Demand Session

Overview

This 75-minute on-demand session from the ASAM 55th Annual Conference addresses healthcare worker stigma against people with substance use disorder as a significant barrier to the provision of high quality, evidence-based treatment in hospitals and Emergency departments.

The science to medicine transition for substance use disorder treatment has been stymied by stigma. This workshop will guide participants through a hospital intervention that includes a perspective-taking exercise, a neurobiology of addiction component, and an educational session on medications for addiction treatment. A toolkit will be shared to assist others in the development of their own stigma training. Workshop participants will work in small groups to develop their own plan to address stigma in their respective setting.

The target audience for this Intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.

This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Medical Knowledge, Practice-based Learning and Improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, Systems-based Practice

This session addresses the following ICPE Competencies:Values and Ethics, Roles and Responsibilities, Interprofessional Communication, Teams and Teamwork
