Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Pharmacotherapy for the Treatment of Tobacco Use Disorder in Primary Care for Resident Physicians

Date of Review: July, 2024

The 90-minute workshop includes (1) slide-based didactics, (2) small-group, cased-based role-playing practice, and then (3) large-group debrief of cases. Although not all learners will be willing to utilize role-play, the authors format it in an approachable manner. The workshop seems easy to implement and could be translated to other learner groups beyond residents (e.g. CME, PA students). One of the biggest challenges to implementation is that the authors recommend having a psychologist facilitator, which may not be as easily accessible. –Emily Olson, MD, NCEAS
