IPE: SBIRT

This interprofessional training is embedded in courses offered to Pharmacy, students to develop universal competencies needed for interprofessional practice.

Health professional students work as members of an interprofessional team to learn about use, abuse, and dependence on alcohol and illicit drugs and their effects on patients, families, and society. At the completion of this interprofessional training, students will acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities to use reliable screening tools for the identification of problematic behaviors; implement brief intervention; refer to treatment; and provide evidence-based recommendations to identify, reduce, and prevent problematic use, abuse, and dependence on alcohol and illicit drugs.
