The overall goal of the California Residency Program Collaborative (CRPC) is to improve education, outreach and treatment for patients with substance use disorder (SUD) disease, including stimulants and opioids, with a focus on medication assisted treatment options. With support from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), a collaboration of multispecialty residency programs works together to advance the training of primary care residents and physicians in the field of SUD/OUD; improve the patient experience of care; and promote care that is patient-centric and evidence-based.

California Residency Program Collaborative II

Our 16 residency programs  worked for over a year on their projects and during that time also worked as a collaborative – meeting to share resources, best practices, challenges and results. Projects identified methods to improve and advance the standard of care for patients, demonstrated how best to implement those methods, and evaluated the outcomes of these efforts. A final report, which includes reports from each program, was submitted to DHCS in September 2022.

CAFP and the CAFP Foundation are excited to announce awards for our third learning collaborative, CRPC-3.
