Deadline Approaching: REACH 2.0 Scholar & Near Peer Applications
Empower the Next Generation of Addiction Medicine Professionals
The REACH 2.0 program, supported by SAMHSA’s Minority Fellowship Program, is accepting applications for Scholars and Near Peers. This immersive, culturally informed training program fosters professional growth through a unique mentorship model. Scholars receive guidance from both an experienced mentor in Addiction Medicine or Psychiatry and a Near Peer Mentor—someone who has recently navigated similar challenges.
With stipends of $40,000 for Scholars and $17,000 for Near Peers, plus travel support, participants gain invaluable resources to advance in addiction health care.
Who is Eligible?
- Scholars: Medical students, residents, and fellows specializing in addiction medicine, addiction psychiatry, or training in addiction medicine.
- Near Peers: Professionals who have completed the REACH mentoring program (or a similar mentoring program) within the last 10 years and are practicing in addiction medicine, addiction psychiatry, or working in a substance use disorder treatment setting.
REACH 2.0 seeks individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly those who have faced historical challenges or underrepresentation in the field.
