23. Summary Non-Tobacco Behavioral Intervention
- Patient communication and counseling are very promising areas to include new tobacco information.
- They are taught across all four years and include a variety of teaching methodologies

24. Faculty Development and Preparation
Need for improvement in faculty training for tobacco prevention
Strong levels of institutional commitment for faculty development
Faculty resistance to tobacco workshops is a significant barrier
Need to explore other methods for faculty tobacco training

25. Student Knowledge and Skills
Need for improvement in students’ prevention and cessation skills
Need for improvement in students’ knowledge of public health and public policy related to tobacco
Students have knowledge of behavioral intervention and stages of change, but need improvement in patient referral

26. Barriers to Tobacco Education
Faculty resistance and low priority on prevention topics present major barriers
The good news is that student and administrative barriers are minimal

27. Educational Vision
Majority of schools envision adding new cases to existing courses and adding greater opportunities for practice
The existing patient communication and counseling curriculum may provide a perfect opportunity for achieving these objectives
