ADDICTION MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP - ESTABLISHED IN 2020, THE ACGME-ACCREDITED MAHEC ADDICTION MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP (AMF) ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL NEED FOR ADDICTION SPECIALISTS IN RURAL WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA (WNC), A REGION IN WHICH ALL COUNTIES ARE HRSA-DESIGNATED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS (HPSA). MAHEC’S AMF PROGRAM SEEKS TO ADDRESS A REGIONAL WORKFORCE GAP BY TRAINING FELLOWS IN RURAL SETTINGS. FROM MAHEC’S FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM, 56% OF RESIDENTS WENT ON TO PRACTICE WITHIN 100 MILES OF THEIR RESIDENCY TRAINING SITE POSITIONS, DEMONSTRATING THAT MAHEC IS IN A KEY POSITION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN HEALTH OUTCOMES IN RURAL WNC COMMUNITIES. FIVE OF THE PROGRAM’S EIGHT GRADUATES HAVE REMAINED IN WNC, AND THREE ARE CURRENTLY SERVING IN RURAL AREAS. THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS MAHEC’S MISSION OF “TRAINING TO SERVE,” EMPHASIZING COMMUNITY-ORIENTED RURAL PRACTICES THAT HELP ADDRESS BARRIERS AND CONCERNS SPECIFIC TO THE MEDICAL CARE LANDSCAPE OF THIS UNDERSERVED REGION. MAHEC’S PATIENT POPULATION IS UNIQUE, AND THE REGION FACES DISTINCT CHALLENGES IN ADDRESSING SUDS AND OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD). IN RURAL WNC, AN AVERAGE OF 54% OF RESIDENTS REPORT THAT THEIR LIFE HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY SUBSTANCE ABUSE, THEIR OWN OR SOMEONE ELSE’S.[2] TO ACCESS TREATMENT, INDIVIDUALS OFTEN MUST TRAVEL TO ASHEVILLE, NC, WHICH CAN BE A TWO TO THREE-HOUR DRIVE ON MOUNTAINOUS RURAL ROADS. MOST FELLOWSHIP ROTATION SITES ARE LOCATED IN BUNCOMBE OR HAYWOOD COUNTIES, WITH MENTAL HEALTH HPSA SCORES OF 17 OR ABOVE, AND AT LEAST ONE ADDITIONAL RURAL GRAHAM COUNTY ROTATION SITE IS EXPECTED IN 2025. AS AN ESTABLISHED AMF PROGRAM, OUR PLAN IS TO MAINTAIN THE PROGRAM FROM OUR ASHEVILLE LOCATION IN COLLABORATION WITH SATELLITE AND RURAL ROTATION SITES, SUPPORTING FOUR FELLOWS OVER FIVE YEARS. TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF BOARD-CERTIFIED ADDICTION MEDICINE SPECIALISTS SERVING IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS, INCLUDING RURAL AREAS, OUR PROGRAM WILL IMPLEMENT A COMPREHENSIVE, STRUCTURED APPROACH FOCUSED ON THREE KEY OBJECTIVES: 1. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ADDICTION MEDICINE SPECIALISTS IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS 2. ENHANCE FELLOWS’ ABILITY TO NAVIGATE LEGAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS RELATED TO PATIENT CARE 3. INCREASE AWARENESS OF ADDICTION MEDICINE AS A SPECIALTY AND REDUCE PROVIDER STIGMA TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, GRANT ACTIVITIES, AND DELIVERABLES, THE AMF PROGRAM DIRECTOR, DR. NATHAN MULLINS, WILL DEDICATE 20 PERCENT OF HIS TIME TO THIS PROGRAM. THE CORE ELEMENTS OF OUR WORK PLAN INCLUDE CONSISTENT REPORTING TO THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME) AND THE SPONSORING INSTITUTION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ACCREDITATION STANDARDS. THE PROGRAM MUST MAINTAIN ACCREDITATION BY MEETING OR EXCEEDING THESE STANDARDS, WHICH REQUIRES REGULAR EVALUATION AND QUALITY IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS THROUGH OUR GME STRUCTURE AND PROGRAM EVALUATION COMMITTEES.

BREAKING DOWN MENTAL HEALTH BARRIERS IN RURAL WESTERN NEW YORK - THE WESTERN NEW YORK RURAL AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER (R-AHEC) IS PART OF THE NATIONAL AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER (AHEC) PROGRAM AND IS NEW YORK STATE’S FIRST AHEC. THE AHEC PROGRAM CONNECTS STUDENTS TO CAREERS, PROFESSIONALS TO COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES TO BETTER HEALTH. R-AHEC BEGAN OPERATIONS IN 1999 AS A NON-PROFIT INDEPENDENT FACILITATION RESOURCE THAT SERVES AS A NETWORKING HUB TO A PREDOMINATELY RURAL 12-COUNTY REGION, HEADQUARTERED IN WARSAW, NEW YORK. COUNTIES INCLUDE ALLEGANY, CATTARAUGUS, CHAUTAUQUA, GENESEE, LIVINGSTON, MONROE, ONTARIO, ORLEANS, STEUBEN, WAYNE, WYOMING, AND YATES, COVERING 9,141 SQUARE MILES. R-AHEC IS SPECIFICALLY STRUCTURED TO GENERATE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, COMMUNITIES, AND PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. R-AHEC IS RECOGNIZED AS A NEUTRAL, REGIONAL FACILITATION RESOURCE CAPABLE OF SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION GRANTS FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THE GOAL OF THE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS TRAINING IS TO TRAIN INDIVIDUALS TO RECOGNIZE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, ESTABLISH LINKAGES, AND TRAIN EMERGENCY SERVICES PERSONNEL, LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL, VETERANS, AND OTHERS TO IDENTIFY PERSONS WITH A MENTAL DISORDER AND EMPLOY CRISIS DE-ESCALATION TECHNIQUES; AND EDUCATE INDIVIDUALS ABOUT RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH A MENTAL DISORDER. R-AHEC PROPOSES TO ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS BY UTILIZING THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID PROGRAM CURRICULUM FOR OUR APPLICATION. MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM THAT IS MANAGED BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID PROGRAM TEACHES ABOUT “RISK FACTORS AND WARNING SIGNS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION CONCERNS, STRATEGIES FOR HOW TO HELP SOMEONE IN BOTH CRISIS AND NON-CRISIS SITUATIONS, AND WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP” USING AN ESTABLISHED AND PROVEN FIVE-STEP ACTION PLAN. THROUGH THE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS TRAINING GRANT, STAFF WILL BE TRAINED AS TRAINERS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID CURRICULUM. OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD, OUR ORGANIZATION WILL TRAIN OVER 1000 PEOPLE IN RURAL COMMUNITIES USING THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID PROGRAM. WE WILL TRAIN THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FIRST RESPONDERS, VETERANS, AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IN SIX RURAL COUNTIES OF WNY INCLUDING WYOMING, ORLEANS, GENESEE, ALLEGANY, CHAUTAUQUA, AND CATTARAUGUS COUNTIES. WE WILL LEVERAGE EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO TRAIN INDIVIDUALS, ESTABLISH AND STRENGTHEN LINKAGES, TRAIN FIRST RESPONDERS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, AND VETERANS, AND PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. OUR GOAL AS A HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER IS TO PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY WITH MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS TRAINING TO HELP REDUCE THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, EQUIP THE COMMUNITY TO HELP ONE ANOTHER, AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS BY PROVIDING MORE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE PROPOSED TRAINING ACTIVITIES WILL INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES, INCREASE KNOWLEDGE OF EXISTING RESOURCES IN THE SIX RURAL COUNTIES, AND BREAK DOWN BARRIERS INCLUDING STIGMA RELATING TO MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS.

EMPOWERING VETERANS WITH DISABILITIES: ADAPTIVE SPORTS AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS BY BLAZESPORTS AMERICA

DUE TO AN INCREASINGLY GLOBALIZED FOOD SYSTEM AND GROWING URBANIZATION, MANY PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEMS BY WHICH THEIR FOOD GETS TO THEIR TABLE. WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW OR WHERE FOOD IS GROWN, IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO ASK CRITICAL QUESTIONS OR MAKE INFORMED FOOD CHOICES. WITHOUT EXPERIENCE WORKING THE LAND, THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE SOIL AS A VITAL LIVING ECOSYSTEM AND NATURAL RESOURCE.WITHOUT AN APPRECIATION FOR THE EXPERTISE AND SKILLS POSSESSED BY THE PEOPLE WHO GROW, RAISE, AND CATCH OUR FOOD, CONSUMERS UNDERVALUE THEIR WORK.THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEMS AMONG FCS/CULINARY TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. OUR APPROACH IS TO BREAK DOWN THE SILOS BETWEEN AGRICULTURE, COOKING, AND NUTRITION AND TO TEACH THIS INTERCONNECTED CONTENT IN THE FCS/CULINARY CLASSROOM. THE THREE AREAS OF WORK IN THIS PROJECT INCLUDE: (1) DEVELOPING FCS/CULINARY CURRICULUM, (2) OFFERING IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL PD FOR FCS/CULINARY TEACHERS, AND (3) FACILITATING EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FOR FCS/CULINARY STUDENTS.COOKING AND SHARING MEALS IS A NATURALLY-ENGAGING WAY TO GET STUDENTS TO CARE ABOUT AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF, AND CONNECTION BETWEEN, AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND NUTRITION. FURTHERMORE, WE BELIEVE THAT CULINARY SKILLS COMBINED WITH FOOD SYSTEM UNDERSTANDING IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TOEMPOWER YOUNG ADULTS AS THEY BEGIN TO MAKE INDEPENDENT FOOD CHOICES THAT SUPPORT THEIR HEALTH, THE HEALTH OF THEIR COMMUNITY, AND THE HEALTH OF THE PLANET.
