Workforce Development
DMC-ODS and CalAIM initiatives transformed the specialty SUD service system for Medi-Cal clients and continue to increase expectations for the workforce in the form of higher clinical, documentation, and outcome standards. SAPC has prioritized workforce development as a central component to advancing the SUD field. SAPC's Capacity Building funds are designed to ensure that staff are prepared to work with an increasingly complex patient population and a specialty SUD treatment environment where outcomes will be central to future reimbursement models.Capacity-Building
