State of the Art in Addiction Medicine (2018)
We live in a historically unprecedented time. Annual drug overdose deaths in the U.S. have surpassed the number of AIDS deaths at the height of the HIV epidemic in 1995. Deaths continue to climb, and the current opioid epidemic has been called this generation’s AIDS crisis. While not all substances are harmful, unhealthy substance use, its complications, and associated stigma are far too common. Evidence-based treatment, policy, and prevention are urgently needed. Compassion and the development of a qualified addiction medicine workforce remains in high demand. The 2018 CSAM State of the Art Conference provides this year’s attendees with a sampling of the latest scientific advances in the fi eld of addiction medicine and their relevance to everyday clinical practice. Over three days, nationally recognized experts presented on a wide range of topics. Whether you are expanding your knowledge about new advances in addiction science and practice, consolidating your skills in the care of persons with unhealthy substance use, or restoring your professional wellbeing, you are in for an educationally rich and rewarding experience.
The activity consists of 23 lectures presented August 30 - September 1, 2018 in San Francisco.
