Since 1999, IRETA has hosted two three-week immersive learning Fellowships for medical students funded by the Scaife Family Foundation.
The goal of the Scaife Fellowship is to increase participants’ knowledge, awareness and skill to assess for substance use disorders, treat the disease, and make appropriate referrals for treatment.
Site visits are offered at different levels of care to diverse populations, giving the students a well-rounded learning experience. Sites include: Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, Allegheny County Correctional Health Facilities, and Gateway Rehabilitation Center.
Students also received a series of lectures on topics like SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment), The Impaired Professional, and Rural Drug and Alcohol Issues.
