The global opioid epidemic remains a critical public health challenge, highlighting the urgent need to equip medical students with the skills and adequate attitudes to manage opioid overdose effectively. A literature search identified 24 articles in 18 medical schools with training programs for opioid overdose response. Those training programs varied in format, with some including practical sessions and others not. The most common assessment tools were pre-surveys and post-surveys which evaluated objective knowledge about and subjective attitudes toward opioid overdose. The findings indicate that those trainings, whether conducted in person or online and being elective or mandatory, significantly enhanced medical students' knowledge and self-reported competency in managing opioid overdoses. Further, some studies reported a reduction in the stigma associated with opioid use disorder.

全球阿片类药物流行仍然是一项严峻的公共卫生挑战，凸显了迫切需要让医学生具备有效管理阿片类药物过量的技能和适当态度。一项文献检索在18所设有阿片类药物过量应对培训项目的医学院校中找到了24篇文章。这些培训项目的形式各不相同，有些包括实践课程，有些则没有。最常见的评估工具是预调查和后调查，它们评估了关于阿片类药物过量的客观知识以及对其的主观态度。研究结果表明，这些培训，无论是面授还是在线进行，是选修还是必修，都显著提高了医学生在管理阿片类药物过量方面的知识和自我报告的能力。此外，一些研究报告称，与阿片类药物使用障碍相关的耻辱感有所降低。
