Synapse to Society: Addiction Medicine State of the Art 2015
The speed of change in the field of Addiction Medicine is accelerating. From healthcare reform to marijuana legalization and from drug trading on “the hidden web” to pharmacogenetics, in the 2015 CSAM State of the Art conference provides tools to help you navigate this brave new world. Another focus of the conference is the fast changing landscape of pain and addiction with speakers, including Anna Lembke, MD, Andrea Rubinstein, MD, and Jodie Trafton, PhD. The conference brings you the topics most relevant to your practice, as well as topics you may soon find landing on your doorstep.
The conference explores synapses, both inside the brain and outside in technology, beginning with NIAAA director, George Koob, PhD, updating clinicians on the research pipeline, and ending with a presentation on naltrexone pharmacogenetics. The conference covers the emerging area of the impact of the internet on drug use and delivery of addiction treatment including how computer science can be used to aid our field. It will explore the new world of deep brain stimulation. On the societal level, we cover topics ranging from the Affordable Care Act with H. Westley Clark, MD, JD, MPH reviewing lessons learned so far, to public health lessons learned from Colorado’s experience with legalization of marijuana. We will also explore food addiction with Eric Zorilla, PhD and offer a glimpse into integrative medicine with Sharone Abramowitz, MD.
Recorded October 21-24, 2015.
