Methamphetamine Lecture and Interclerkship (National Institute on Drug Abuse)

This curriculum module contains a PowerPoint presentation that offers an introduction to methamphetamine abuse and dependence in the United States. The PowerPoint slides can be tailored for different audiences, including preclinical and clinical learners. The goals of the lecture are to educate medical students and resident physicians about prevalence, diagnosis, and treatments of methamphetamine abuse and dependence. An interclerkship component is included as an attachment to this curriculum resource. This feature allows facilitators to use some of the lecture material in an interclerkship for students in their third year of medical school, when most have started their clinical education and may encounter patients with methamphetamine-related issues. The interclerkship curriculum provides important information about the significance of methamphetamine abuse and dependence and its effects on the individual and society.
