JAMA Internal Medicine Article Discusses New American Board of Addiction Medicine

Newswise In a new JAMA Internal Medicine Viewpoint article, three leading addiction experts document the need for an addiction medicine specialty, trace the history of physicians specializing in addiction treatment, and discuss current efforts by the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM) and The ABAM Foundation to train and certify physicians, and to become recognized and accredited within the larger medical community. The paper is published online September 8, and will be in the journals November 2014 print issue.

The articles authors are all uncompensated officers of ABAM and The ABAM Foundation: Patrick G. OConnor, M.D., M.P.H., FACP (President); Robert J. Sokol, M.D., FACOG, (President-Elect); and Gail DOnofrio, M.D., M.S. (Secretary). Dr. OConnor serves as Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Section of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine and Yale-New Haven Hospital; Dr. Sokol is The John M. Malone, Jr., MD, Endowed Chair & Director, C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development and Distinguished Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wayne State University School of Medicine; and Dr. DOnofrio is Professor and Chair, Department of Emergency Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine and Chief, Emergency Medicine Department, Yale-New Haven Hospital.

The need for addiction medicine specialists has never been greater, says Dr. OConnor, the papers lead author. The path our organization has chosen will help meet this urgent need.

Despite the devastation caused by substance abuse and addiction, the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that 23.1 million Americans needed specialized addiction treatment, while only 2.5 million (11%) received it. This illustrates what the authors call a treatment gap one that might be filled by increasing the number of trained addiction medicine specialists across multiple disciplines.

Addiction specialization in medicine was first initiated by the field of psychiatry. However, the number of addiction psychiatrists has not met the overwhelming need for physicians specializing in addiction treatment and prevention. To meet this need, many in the addiction field saw the necessity of extending the addiction specialist designation to other specialties through the creation of the new discipline of addiction medicine.

ABAM was incorporated as an independent board in 2007, and assumed the certification examination created by the American Society of Addiction Medicine in conjunction with the National Board of Medical Examiners in the 1980s. A physician must meet a number of criteria in order to take the ABAM certification exam. To date, 3,094 physicians have been certified by ABAM.

Because addiction medicine is multidisciplinary, the ABAM board of directors consists of representatives of eight specialties: emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, preventive medicine, psychiatry and surgery. Candidates for ABAM certification must have certification from an American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) recognized board in one of these or other -- specialties.

To train physicians in addiction medicine, The ABAM Foundation has established 23 addiction medicine fellowship programs at leading medical institutions across the U.S. and Canada. These programs are modeled on the standards of the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the primary accreditation body for American medical residency programs.

'Missouri Medicine' Turns to SLU for Vaccine Research Insights

Newswise ST. LOUIS -- Saint Louis University researchers are attacking influenza on multiple fronts as they search for a universal vaccine that protects people from the flu virus that often mutates year to year with deadly consequences.

Their progress, as well as the efforts of other researchers in SLUs Center for Vaccine Development who are working to protect people from different infectious diseases, is chronicled in the July/August issue of Missouri Medicine, which focuses on vaccine research.

As evidenced by the current Ebola outbreak, there are no other potential world health problems that threaten massive death and illness as much as infectious diseases. Some of medicines greatest triumphs have been in the field of vaccine development, said John C. Hagan III, M.D., editor of Missouri Medicine.

As an internationally known research facility it was natural for Missouri Medicine: The Journal of the Missouri State Medicine to invite the Center for Vaccine Development at Saint Louis University Medical Center to prepare the theme scientific articles for our July/August 2014 issue.

Formed at SLU 25 years ago and continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Center of Vaccine Development has been instrumental in developing numerous vaccines that protect public health including the FLUMist nasal spray influenza vaccine and vaccines against smallpox and other potential biological weapons post 9/11. The Center for Vaccine Development also was one of the leaders on national research into an H1N1 influenza vaccine, used to protect people from the pandemic that swept the nation in 2009.

Through the years, scientists at the center also have worked on vaccines for tuberculosis, herpes simplex, hepatitis C, Dengue, pneumonia, meningitis and pertussis. They have conducted more than 100 clinical trials that have enrolled about 7,000 community volunteers.

During the last quarter century, their work has received more than $150 million in funding from various NIH contracts and grants as well as funding from multinational foundations. SLUs Center for Vaccine Development expects to receive an additional $50 to $75 million by 2023 from its recent contract as a federally funded Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit (VTEU).

In the July/August issue of Missouri Medicine, SLU researchers described their work to prevent several serious infectious diseases. Here is a link to their articles.
