PSY-799 Virtual Addiction Medicine
Addiction is highly prevalent in the United States and around the world, impacting diverse people of all ages and backgrounds. Despite this, the healthcare workforce is largely ill-equipped and under-informed regarding assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders and other behavioral addictions. Misinformation, bias, and stigma contribute to poor outcomes for individuals suffering with addiction. This course provides an advanced curriculum in addiction medicine to supplement content in the core medical curriculum. Diagnosis, treatment, and special topics in addiction medicine are covered through several online modules which are supplemented with videos, audio, and case-based exercises. This course will increase knowledge, attitudes, and comfort surrounding addiction medicine. Retake course for credit: No. Pass/no pass grading allowed: No. Credit(s): 2-4

Addendum for The Graduate College
Requested on: March 6, 2024
Submitted by: Gabriella Cs-Szabo, Ph.D.
Beginning with graduates from the Integrated Biomedical Sciences (PhD) program for the spring 2024 term and later, the following corrections are needed:
- Under the section heading “Year 3-5 Research Progress/Publications/Dissertation”, the second paragraph should now read:
“The Research Adviser monitors the day-to-day progress of the student. The Dissertation committee will meet at least every six months to monitor progress and to approve any changes to the proposed research project. They may meet more frequently, especially after the approval of the student’s research proposal. The student is expected to attend national meetings, make presentations, posters etc. and become a part of the scientific community. Likewise, the student should be submitting research articles. The Integrated Biomedical Science PhD program requires that the research project yield at least one first-authored research manuscript submitted for publication in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. The submission for publication requirement is necessary for graduation but not sufficient. The dissertation committee will continue to assess student progress on the aims and determines when the student has completed their dissertation. (See Dissertation Proposal and Presentation below).”
- Under the section heading “Year 3-5 Research Progress/Publications/Dissertation”, the third paragraph bullet should now read:
- “The graduate is able to contribute to the scientific literature in an area of expertise via published abstracts, a dissertation and by the submission for publication of a first-authored research manuscript in a scientific refereed journal.”
- Under the section heading “Data Defense and Dissertation”, the final paragraph should now read:
“Since the submission of a first-authored research manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal is required for the degree, the dissertation is not considered complete until the submission of at least one first authored manuscript for peer-reviewed publication. If submission is pending, the Committee may approve the dissertation, but the Degree Approval form will not be signed until the paper is submitted to a per-reviewed journal as verified by the letter from the Journal’s editor.”
