The medical journal Academic Psychiatry is featuring the work of 13 faculty members, trainees, and affiliates of the Yale Department of Psychiatry in a special issue dedicated to education in addictions.
Together, the 13 authors wrote five of the 15 papers in the collection, which the journal’s editor-in-chief, Laura Weiss Roberts, MD, MA, said presents “state-of-the-art and practical ways for academicians to enhance addiction training across disciplines and levels of education.”
