internationally, this has been recognized, and grants have been awarded to sites to teach this technique, and such a grant was awarded to us, to ucsf, to teach residents who are training at san francisco general hospital. my focus has actually been around teaching the referral to treatment, which involves city programs specifically. the grant has become a platform to teach not just residents about substance use but also attending social workers, nurses, and it has become a platform to not only teach, but also changed attitudes, and i think whenever we bring teaching to our clinical services, we enhance those services on a number levels. so there you go. supervisor chu: thank you for
