Detailed Description and Purpose of the IPE Experience
Description & Purpose:
The TTUHSC School of Medicine has provided a unique week-long training experience in Substance Use Disorder Treatment at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA, for over a decade. In 2023, this opportunity expanded to include students from the TTUSHC School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and School of Population and Health Professions. Given the prevalence of substance use disorders in our society and its impact and relativeness to all TTUHSC programs of studies and disciplines, this activity is extremely valuable as a training experience in all areas of medicine, health care, and public health. This opportunity is open to students at all campuses and is valuable for students entering all specialties.
Substance use disorder detection and treatment is a vital part of health care and public health practice. Given the prevalence of alcohol and drug addiction and the severity of its potential health and psychological consequence for patients and their families, the purpose of this IPE activity is to give TTUHSC students a solid foundation in this area and well as how to approach substance use disorders as a team that involves inter-professional health and public health disciplines. A one-week training experience at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California is available for twelve students as part of an interprofessional team during a week in March. The weeklong program is experiential in nature, allowing participants to spend the majority of their time immersed in the same activities as the patients or family members at the center. In addition, there are supplemental presentations provided to augment understanding of the diseases of addiction. Participants will either participate in the Inpatient Program or the Residential Day Treatment Program. This experience will involve participating in treatment activities as well as multidisciplinary treatment planning meetings.
Participants will also meet daily as a group during the week to discuss their experiences in each of these programs. Two faculty members will also participate in the same activities as the student participants. This is a unique training experience that is being made available to TTUHSC students through a generous donation. The donors' interest is in preparing future health professionals to optimally deal with evaluating and guiding patients to appropriate treatment when substance use is an issue. The Betty Ford Center is one of the premier treatment facilities in the country and serves as a template for many of the substance use disorder treatment programs existing today.
Aims:
1. Immerse TTUHSC students in the same activities as the patients or family members at the center.
2. Provide supplemental presentations related to substance use disorders and treatments to augment understanding of the diseases of addiction.
3. Participate in the Inpatient Program or the Residential Day Treatment Program as well as multidisciplinary treatment planning meetings.
4. Enhance students’ understanding of the different role of interprofessional health care and public health practitioners as related to substance use disorders and treatment.
