The Addiction Medicine Fellowship Program encompasses both psychiatry and an addiction subspecialty for primary care doctors training in prevention and treatment services in rural areas that do not have access or have limited access to substance use disorder treatment.
HRSA will award approximately $23 million to 28 awardees over a five year period through this funding opportunity.
Eligible applicants:
- Sponsoring institutions of accredited AMF programs or accredited APF programs. The sponsoring institution must be accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education.
- A consortium consisting of at least one teaching health center and one sponsoring institution of an addiction medicine or addition psychiatry fellowship program.
