CurriculumACAAM has focused several sessions of its National Addiction Medicine Didactic Curriculum series on racial and social equity in addiction medicine. Especially pertinent curriculum sessions are highlighted here: Opioid Response Network: Advancing Racial Equity in the Substance Use Field This training was presented as part of the ACAAM National Addiction Medicine Didactic Curriculum Series on January 19 and May 4, 2022. ORN has provided training materials for anyone interested in this topic. Please reach out to Deena Murphy with any questions. The Developing a Shared Language For Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training (66 minutes) is to provide you with an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and awareness of DEI issues. We explore the potential impact of these issues on our beliefs towards those with backgrounds different from our own and how those beliefs can impact the people we serve and the continuum of care for substance use disorder. This training is an opportunity to reflect on ways to create more welcoming and inclusive places of business for our staff and clients, as well as look at ways organizations can support DEI efforts.The Systemic Racism and Substance Use Disorder: Anti-Racist Strategies (72 minutes) training builds on the initial training by providing a recap of the key points and the real-world implications of racism in our personal and professional worlds. In this training we focus on guiding you through individual action steps for being anti-racist, anti-racism organizational steps, and leadership strategies for addressing racial equity.
