Academia & Addiction | Pain Pod

Earl Simmons (DMX) gonna give it to ya, a new definition of pain that is!
 
Back in 2009, a prominent study showed that U.S. Schools of Medicine were barely covering the topic of pain management in respective curricula (weighing in at a mere 9 hours on average), which paled in comparison to numerous other medical conditions. Obviously, the rest of healthcare professional schools, that’s us in pharmacy too, had a reconning to take action and amp up the education on pain management, and of course substance use disorder (SUD), commonly referred to as addiction.
 
It's been a wild ride, and in this episode of the Pain Pod, Mark “Pain Guy” Garofoli sits down for a chat with Dr. Lucas Hill, PharmD on the intersection of Academia (the Ivory Tower) and SUD.
 
Come one, come all, to the Pain Pod!!!
