Tripler Army Medical Center
Gerald Busch MD MPH DLFAPA DFAACAP FASAM serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the Uniform Services University of the Health Sciences and faculty on the Child and Family Behavioral Health Services Unit at Tripler Army Medical Center. Dr Busch has dedicated his 35-year career as a psychiatrist to advancing the understanding, prevention, and treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) across clinical, community, and academic settings. As a private practitioner, he established and operated Houston’s first outpatient buprenorphine and withdrawal management clinic beginning in 2005, expanding access to evidence-based care. He served for many years as chair of the Houston Harris County Office of Drug Policy leading multi-agency regional efforts to monitor and address substance use. After retiring from private practice, Dr. Busch earned an MPH from the Milken Institute School of Public Health to develop skills and understanding of addiction at the community level through education, prevention, and policy.
Dr. Busch has established a niche in the development of national standards for curricula in addiction psychiatry. He co-created a substance use disorder curriculum for psychiatric residents and child and adolescent psychiatry fellows for the AADPRT Child and Adolescent SUD subcommittee, which has been presented at AADPRT, AACAP, and the APA annual meetings. Additionally, he developed a psychiatric emergency department curriculum in response to the surge in prevalence of SUD cases in emergency room settings, presented at the 2023 annual National Update on Behavioral Emergencies (NUBE) conference. A psychiatric ER curriculum update workshop was presented at this year’s NUBE conference led by Dr. Busch. In advancing addiction psychiatry education, Dr. Busch has sought to conceptualize addiction in terms that provide a palpable understanding, so that trainees are able to experience a visceral appreciation of substance disorders, enabling an approach with evidence, courage, and confidence.
