title = "Addiction psychiatry fellowship: Meeting acritical need",
abstract = "Addiction is a major public health problem that the United States is currently confronting. Yet, the need for trained addiction psychiatrists is not being met. A majority of patients struggling with addictive disorders do not have access to trained addiction specialists. We need to produce addiction psychiatrists who can lead and teach the next generation of psychiatrists about addiction.",

note = "Funding Information: Most of the requirements for an addiction psychiatry fellowship are similar to those for other ACGME- recognized training programs and are detailed in the ACGME Common Program Requirements (Fellowship);11 a brief overview of the requirements is provided here. Notably, the fellowship program must have appropriate faculty for training fellows, including at least two faculty members with subspecialty certification in addiction psychiatry, one of whom must be the program director. The addiction psychiatry fellowship program must be sponsored by an ACGME-accredited sponsoring institution. The sponsoring institution is the organization or entity that assumes the ultimate financial and academic responsibility for the fellowship program consistent with the ACGME institutional requirements. Together, the program and the institution must ensure an appropriate and safe environment for training: access to food while on duty; safe, quiet, clean, and private sleep/rest facilities available and accessible for fellows with proximity appropriate for safe patient care; clean and private facilities for lactation that have refrigeration capabilities, with proximity appropriate for safe patient care; security and safety measures appropriate to the participating site; and accommodations for fellows with disabilities consistent with the sponsoring institution{\textquoteright}s policy. The sponsoring institution and program must also provide ready access to subspecialty-specific and other appropriate reference material in print or electronic format. This must include access to electronic medical literature databases with full-text capabilities. The fellowship program, in partnership with its sponsoring institution, must engage in practices that focus on mission-driven, ongoing, systematic recruitment and retention of a diverse and inclusive workforce of residents (if present), fellows, faculty members, senior administrative staff members, and other relevant members of its academic community.
