Diagnosing Substance Use Disorder:
An Interactive E-learning Module
This is an interactive e-learning module for University of Toronto medical students, focusing on diagnosing and prescribing medications for substance use disorder.
The module includes an animated patient interview, delving into the patient’s background and history of substance use. This approach sets the stage for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
Complementing the animation is an interactive quiz that challenges students to prescribe suitable medications. By allowing students to input their answers and compare them with sample responses, the quiz serves as a powerful tool to reinforce key learning objectives.
