The presenters will share findings from a new systematic literature review published in Academic Medicine, the Journal of the AAMC, exploring health care professionals’ bias and stigma related to addiction.

Panelists will also provide updates on several national education efforts on substance use disorder training and discuss the state of the addiction crisis.
