COPE Curriculum Innovation Challenge 2.0:
Innovative Learning and Teaching About Substance Use/ Opioid Use Disorders

Medical School Addiction Medicine Curriculum: Designed for Medical Students by Medical Students and Medical School Faculty Available for Free Download

In the fall of 2022, COPE released a call for submissions for the Medical Student Curriculum Challenge 2.0: Innovative Learning and Teaching About Substance Use/ Opioid Use Disorders, in alignment with current initiatives of the American Academy of Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM). This Opioid Response Network-funded initiative invited faculty mentors and their medical students to utilize their creativity, ingenuity, and knowledge to design curricula related to the development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes critical to providing care to persons with substance use/ opioid use disorders (SUD/OUD).

  • COPE’s Curriculum Innovation Challenge 2.0 intended to support medical school faculty and medical student teams in integrating addiction medicine content into the Core Clerkship rotations.
  • This effort was designed to foster engagement and collaboration between addiction medicine experts, medical school faculty (clerkship directors or the equivalent), and medical students using cutting-edge concepts and training tools.

COPE supported and empowered faculty/student teams from four medical schools to integrate addiction medicine curricula into their schools’ clinical settings. Through a series of three virtual conferences, teams were led in developing components of an addiction medicine curriculum and planning the subsequent implementation, all based on the needs of their school. Resources in goal setting, curriculum design, and other topics were deployed in service of this project.
