Development of an Innovative Facilitator Simulation Training for Faculty

The United States is experiencing an opioid epidemic as overdoses and deaths continue to increase (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, [CDC], 2022). Nearly 76,000 fatal opioid overdoses occurred between September 2021 through September 2022 (Ahmad et al., 2023). Stemming this ongoing crisis will require efforts to increase the number of opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment providers, ensure safer prescribing practices for providers (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022), increase public awareness of the scope of the problem, and expand treatment options for persons experiencing opioid use disorder (Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2023).
