Medical residents do not receive adequate training in screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol and other drug use disorders. The federally funded Pennsylvania SBIRT Medical and Residency Training program (SMaRT) is an evidence-based curriculum with goals of training residents in SBIRT knowledge and skills and disseminating the curriculum throughout the medical residency programs. The SMaRT program collaborates with 4 hospital systems and 7 residency sites, with a target of 1147 residents to be trained. This brief report describes the design of the SMaRT program curriculum, implementation across settings and programs, and its evaluation methods. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
