Classroom Course » Addressing Medical Partiality, Part Two: National Perspectives and Tools for Prevention Professionals

*Registration for this training will close on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at 9:00am*

This technical and technical assistance training builds on the foundation of Medical Partiality: Part One by expanding the focus to national perspectives, innovative practices, and prevention strategies that reduce the impact of provider assumptions in healthcare. Substance use and related health challenges do not occur in isolation, yet the way services are delivered can influence whether individuals receive timely care or encounter obstacles to support. Across the country, prevention professionals and healthcare systems are working together to address these challenges by embedding prevention into clinical practice, integrating peer and community health workers, and developing training models that improve equitable care. 

Participants will learn how these approaches improve trust, increase early identification of risk, and strengthen prevention-first responses across healthcare and community settings. Emphasis will be placed on actionable tools and collaborative strategies that prevention professionals can use to promote fairness in care delivery and build stronger partnerships with medical providers.

At the end of this training participants will be able to:

1. Describe how medical partiality influences prevention and early intervention outcomes in healthcare settings.
2. Identify evidence-based and emerging practices from across the country that improve quality of care in clinical environments.
3. Explain how prevention professionals can collaborate with providers, peers, and community health workers to integrate prevention-first responses into medical workflows.
4. Demonstrate practical tools and strategies to strengthen trust, improve access, and support early identification for individuals at elevated risk.
