This 3.5-hour, self-paced course is for health, oral health, and behavioral health students and professionals. Learners will take part in an interactive, simulated new employee orientation on SBIRT (screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for substance use) in a fictional healthcare center. Participants will apply and test their knowledge through interactive games, case scenarios, and quizzes following each module. The goal of this course is to help participants develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities in using SBIRT as an intervention with patients.

This course was developed by the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) SBIRT Project located in the Collaborative to Advance Health Services, School of Nursing and Health Studies, with funding by grants TI025355 and TI026442 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
