Integrating Buprenorphine Treatment Into Family Medicine Resident Clinic.

Background And Objectives: Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder with buprenorphine in primary care is effective and patient-accessible yet remains underutilized, including among residency training programs. One concern in residency programs is that MAT patients must be seen at least monthly and will overwhelm residents' clinic schedules and dilute their clinical experience. Our family medicine residency initiated an MAT program integrated into residents' continuity clinic schedules.
