Abstract
This study examines patient experiences with shared medical appointments for buprenorphine treatment at a safety net primary care clinic. This is a cross-sectional observational study of 28 participants in a primary care buprenorphine shared medical appointments program. Participants reported appreciating the group visit format, gaining increased coping skills, and having more stable housing and less legal difficulty after starting the program. The implementation of shared medical appointments for buprenorphine treatment benefits clinicians and patients. The nurse care manager and buprenorphine prescriber can efficiently attend to the clinical needs of multiple patients.
