Training Clinicians and the Community
Medical students, residents, and other trainees work in our clinic during their Addiction Medicine and Adolescent Medicine rotations. In addition, fellows in the Grayken Fellowship in Addiction Medicine, one of the nation’s first addiction medicine fellowships, work at CATALYST as part of their Adolescent Addiction Medicine rotation. Fellows can opt to choose CATALYST as their continuity clinic.
In addition, members of the CATALYST team provide substance use education for youth, families, and those who work with youth in community settings.
