Evaluation of Resident Physicians' Knowledge of and Attitudes Towards Prescribing Buprenorphine for Patients With Opioid Use Disorder.

Objective: To determine internal medicine (IM) residents' knowledge of, attitudes towards, and barriers to prescribing buprenorphine for opioid use disorder (OUD).

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of IM residents across all 35 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited Florida IM residency programs. We used an online survey to collect information about resident demographics, substance use curriculums, career interests, content knowledge about diagnosing and managing OUD, and attitudes about and barriers to prescribing buprenorphine for OUD.
