This curriculum is typically offered in the third year of medical school, when students have started their clinical education and are most likely to encounter patients with methamphetamine-related issues. Methods This resource provides an outline for medical school faculty who want to offer a 1-day (8 hours) or half day (4 hours) interclerkship course. The module includes a lecture via PowerPoint presentation. Video clips can be shown, followed by a facilitated panel discussion. The course ends with a debriefing and learning assessment. Results One hundred and eleven students attended this seminar (56 males, 55 females). The summary report, especially the feedback from questions 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 13, reflect a strong response to the learning objectives and content of this pilot. The item analysis of the learning assessment performed after the seminar was completed also indicated that our students understood the material well enough to answer the questions correctly. Discussion Recommendations for future iterations of this curriculum resource include extending the 4-hour session to emphasize more content areas, such as a more in-depth discussion of the treatment process, including the addition of a former methamphetamine-abuse patient in the discussion panel.
