Addiction Medicine Fellowship

Program Description

The Stanford University Addiction Medicine Fellowship is a one-year, advanced fellowship opportunity in addiction medicine, open to physicians who have completed any ACGME-accredited residency. The Fellowship is accredited by the American Board of Addiction Medicine, and will seek ACGME accreditation in 2016.  We provide state-of-the-art training in the treatment of patients with addiction, including detoxification, pharmacotherapy for addiction, abstinence-based recovery models, harm-reduction recovery models, motivational interviewing, 12-Step facilitation, consultation for medical and psychiatric hospital services, and psychosocial approaches to the treatment of patients with addiction and pain. The program is tailored to the individual background and interests of the applicant, and includes but is not limited to experiences in the following settings: Stanford Inpatient Psychiatry, Stanford Outpatient Dual Diagnosis/Addiction Clinic, Stanford Consult-Liaison Psychiatry, Stanford Pain Clinic, Stanford Family Medicine Clinic, Kaiser Santa Clara Chemical Dependency and Rehabilitation Program, and scholarly/research collaborations. Our goal is to train physicians in all aspects of treating patients with substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, and co-occurring psychiatric and medical disorders. We also hope to promote future leaders in the field of Addiction Medicine.

Anna Lembke
Program Director, Stanford University Addiction Medicine Fellowship

Bio

Dr. Anna Lembke received her undergraduate degree in Humanities from Yale University and her medical degree from Stanford University. She is currently Associate Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also Program Director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Fellowship, and Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and a diplomate of the American Board of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Lembke was one of the first in the medical community to sound the alarm regarding opioid overprescribing and the opioid epidemic. In 2016, she published her best-selling book on the prescription drug epidemic, Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016), which combines case studies with public policy, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, to explore the complex relationship between doctors and patients around prescribing controlled drugs. Drug Dealer, MD has had an impact on policy makers and legislators across the nation. Dr. Lembke has testified before Congress and consulted with governors and senators from Kentucky to Missouri to Nevada. She was a featured guest on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, MSNBC with Chris Hayes, and numerous other media broadcasts. Her book was highlighted in the New York Times as one of the top five books to read to understand the opioid epidemic (Zuger, 2018). Using her public platform and her faculty position at Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Lembke continues to educate policymakers and the public about causes of and solutions for the problem of addiction.
