There's very little on SDN about addiction medicine fellowships--let alone from the FM side of things. And most of the relevant threads are about those who were grandfathered in rather than doing the actual fellowship since it's such a young specialty.
Any idea what fellowships are looking for other than just high volumes of suboxone/substance use disorders patients? The faculty at my residency is uncertain as well what the expectations or goals should be for a resident interested in potentially applying in 1-2yrs. Ex: no idea how large of a role research plays or what consists of adequate experience.
I myself am not 100% certain I want to do it, but I am certain I want more info and would love to hear from any FM docs who are addiction BC'd or even did the fellowship if they're on here. Thanks!
