Communities of Practice
Addiction Medicine communities of practice are designed for those who have attended Addiction Medicine ECHO programs to come together and present their challenging cases for a facilitated discussion in an informal setting. These programs meet monthly and do not offer didactic presentations; they are 100% case-based. Learners receive CME credits for attendance.
