This community was created to provide faculty and students from Canadian faculties of medicine with an opportunity to share pedagogical resources on addiction and collaborate on the development new pedagogical tools.
In 2010 an environmental scan of pedagogical resources on undergraduate materials on addiction was conducted by the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada with funding from the Norlien Foundation.
A number of the key resources revealed through the scan have been listed in the wikis created for this community. If you have resources you would like to contribute to the list please post on the wiki under the appropriate heading.
For more information about this community, please contact Catherine Peirce at the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada.
