INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE PROGRAM The University of Colorado Addiction Medicine Fellowship is a one-year multidisciplinary program providing training in the treatment of patients with substance use disorders. The fellowship offers experiences in a variety of treatment settings from inpatient/residential to outpatient programs and includes a diverse patient population with respect to socioeconomic strata, race, ethnicity and age. While training will occur across a full spectrum of clinical venues, the Addiction Medicine Fellowship is based in the Department of Family Medicine, an acknowledgement that significant portions of current and future substance use disorder treatments will be delivered in primary care settings with trained addiction medicine specialists having a crucial impact not only in direct patient care but providing education and guidance to primary care providers in addiction treatment.
