UT Southwestern Medical Center 2023 Alumni Reunion: "Recognizing And Intervening in Common Public Health Crises: The Role Of The Clinician" (RP2305D)

May 5, 2023 to May 6, 2023

Practicing physicians often face challenges to stay abreast of the trends to address complex issues encountered by patients and the public. Based on input from a UT Southwestern 2022 focus groups of alumni, two current complex issues were identified: recognizing and intervening in human trafficking and the opioid epidemic.  This two hour program is designed to provide practicing physicians with practical information on recognizing and intervening in these crucial public health challenges through two didactic presentations. “Human Trafficking: The Role of the Clinician” will include information on a trauma-informed and patient-centered approach to providing care and education, increasing identification, and responding appropriately to persons who are at risk or have experienced trafficking.  “The Current Opiate Epidemic and the Role of Fentanyl” will address harm reduction, prevention, and treatment, looking at the cause and scope of addictions and how these relate to biological, psychological, and social causes. Strategies are focused on these factors and how they relate to the treatment of chronic pain. 

Both presentations will include an opportunity for interactive Q&A with learners. This activity will take place within the UT Southwestern 2023 Alumni Reunion program. Practicing physicians in any specialty should attend.

Registration is open through April 20, 2023 here.
