Palliative Care: Bridging the Gap for Addiction Treatment in People with Serious Illness

AMERSA People and Passion – Sponsored by the ATTC Network

Substance Use Disorders are common in people with serious illness and contribute immensely to suffering and poor quality of life. People with addiction and serious illness are an underserved population with unmet and complex medical and psychosocial needs. In this episode, Palliative care clinicians will discuss the overlap between both fields, educational initiatives, patient cases, and innovative models of collaboration to bridge the gap.
With Julie W. Childers, MD, Katie Fitzgerald Jones, BSN, MSN, APN, and interviewed by Dr. Janet Ho.
