Description and Expected Results
Bimonthly, University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Services (UMATS) will host a lecture and discussion to inform and enhance clinical practice through the exploration of topics related to the etiology, prevention, and treatment of problematic substance use and substance use disorders. This will bring together individuals from research and clinical areas to foster multi-disciplinary discussion and learning related to substance use disorders, the latest research evidence, and clinical best-practices. After this activity participants will be able to better identify, diagnose, and manage patients' substance use disorders and will routinely follow up-to-date evidence-based guidelines on how to best identify, diagnose, and manage patients' substance use disorders.
