Using Case Studies for Integrating SBIRT into Curriculum
This webinar will examine various case studies that have been infused into SBIRT nursing curriculum. Each case explores SBIRT with a focus of a specific patient population. At the conclusion of this webinar, the cases will be made available for download for future use and sharing. As a result of participating in this webinar, you will be able to: discuss the benefits supporting the use of case studies as a teaching strategy for SBIRT education; explore the use of case studies for a variety of nursing audiences (undergraduate and graduate nursing students, nurses in practice settings); and utilize a case study to enhance the application of screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment.
NOTE:This webinar is open to everyone including non-members, communities of interest, practice representatives, and AACN member schools including deans, faculty, staff and students
This free webinar is produced in partnership with The BIG Initiative, National SBIRT ATTC, NORC at the University of Chicago, and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
