WEBINAR: Confronting the Opioid Crisis in America

Tuesday, April 9, 1 to 2:30 p.m.

The alarmingly high death rate from the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts has become our state’s number one public health crisis. In this webinar, you'll learn what Massachusetts has been doing to combat both the spigot problem and the treatment challenges of the opioid epidemic. We'll discuss the root causes of our current predicament; the first step in getting out of a hole is to stop digging. Next, we'll discuss addiction physiology and opioid substance use disorder treatment. Lastly, we'll cover concrete best practices, tools, and guidelines which you can take back to share with your colleagues. MHA’s VP of Clinical Integration Steven Defossez, M.D., will lead the discussion. He spearheaded physician engagement on MHA’s Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment Task Force, and co-chairs the Massachusetts Medical Society-MHA Joint Task Force on Physician Burnout.
