Scott Winter, MD, psychiatric residency director for JPS, echoes this point, “as a teaching hospital with previously only myself as a certified addiction medicine specialist, it was difficult to meet the training needs of our residents.
With doctor Haqqani becoming certified under the ABAM, we are able to offer sufficient addiction medicine faculty to teach our residents about treating addiction disorders.†Winter added, “there will always be a need for training and with the addition of this medical specialty offering, that need will be met and allow for greater patient care and addiction intervention,†he says.
