Abstract

The article discusses the need for improved training of health professionals, particularly doctors, in addiction medicine in Finland. It highlights the lack of adequate training in addictive disorders in medical education and specialization programs, which leads to a distorted view of people with addictions and a lack of interest in the field of addiction medicine. The article also mentions the challenges faced by the special competence program in addiction medicine, including limited resources and funding for research. The authors emphasize the importance of harmonizing training in addiction medicine to ensure optimal treatment for individuals with substance use disorders. [Extracted from the article]
