Standardized Patient Simulation Using SBIRT (Screening Brief Intervention and Referral for Treatment) as a Tool for Interprofessional Learning

摘要

Substance misuse is a critical social and health care issue, and learning how to effectively screen for misuse and perform a brief intervention is useful for all health care professions. As an intercollegiate, interprofessional group, we developed a mechanism for delivering interprofessional education (IPE) using SBIRT (screening, brief intervention, and referral for treatment) as a tool to identify potential substance misuse.
