The Addiction Medicine Fellowship (AMF) Program provides grants to expand the number of fellows at accredited Addiction Medicine Fellowship and Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship programs trained as addiction medicine specialists who work in underserved, community-based settings that integrate primary care with mental health disorders and substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment services.

Program objectives:

• Increase the number of addiction medicine and addiction psychiatry sub- specialists trained to practice in medically underserved community-based settings, including rural areas, that integrate primary care with mental health and SUD prevention and treatment services
• Increase fellows' knowledge and ability to assist their patients with referrals to navigate the legal and social systems related to patients' clinical needs or care
• Increase awareness of addiction medicine as a sub-specialty and reduce provider stigma to increase the number of physicians interested in pursuing careers in addiction medicine and addiction psychiatry through the provision of clinical rotations that expose medical residents to practice in these specialties and through education and consultation

Priorities:

• Team-based care
• Health information technology
• Rural, tribal or underserved communities

A detailed list of required activities and expectations is provided in the application instructions.

Eligible applicants include sponsoring institutions of accredited addiction medicine fellowship programs or accredited addiction psychiatry fellowship programs, or a consortium consisting of at least one teaching health center and one sponsoring institution of an addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry fellowship program.
