Special Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Conference To Focus On Issues Surrounding Addiction

The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's Professionals in Residence (PIR) program in collaboration with the University of Minnesota Department of Family Medicine and Community Health and the Scaife Family Foundation will host a special conference June 20-21 in Minnesota for primary health care providers to learn more about the issues surrounding addiction—Addiction Medicine for the Primary Care Provider Conference.

Primary care doctors, who receive limited addiction training during an otherwise rigorous medical education, will gain knowledge and the tools needed to face the growing challenges posed by pressing issues like the painkiller epidemic and changing attitudes about marijuana . . .
