Description

Integrating addiction medicine into primary care is a critical approach to addressing the ongoing addiction and overdose public health crisis, especially in underserved and rural areas where addiction specialty services are limited. The Primary Care Addiction Medicine (PCAM) team from Waco Family Medicine will share their experience integrating addiction medicine into the fabric of a primary care system. Attendees will gain practical insights into implementation of this clinical model, the role of the team in accomplishing goals, and patient perspectives regarding receiving addiction treatment in their medical home.
