2019 Pain and Opioid Seminar

In 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency on America’s opioid epidemic. Since then, the number of overdose deaths, misuse of prescribed opioids and abuse of illicitly manufactured opioids have continued to negatively impact millions of Americans. Join us for a one-day seminar led by expert faculty who will provide an update on advancing practices for pain management, recognizing and treating addition, and specifics on addiction in teenagers.
