"The Annual Scientific Meeting continues to grow every year," said David T. Walsworth, MD, an Ingham County primary care physician and 2018 ASM Planning Committee Chair. "This year we will offer six courses that will help attendees meet the Board of Medicine's (BOM) CME requirements for Pain and Symptom Management, Medical Ethics, and or Human Trafficking."
Top experts will present courses, such as "The CDC Guidelines and the New Michigan Opioid Guidelines", "Human Trafficking Awareness and Identification in a Health Setting", "What Would You Do? Ethical Issues in Patient Care", "An Epidemiologic Approach to Preventing Gun Violence in America Through Practice Medical Office Interventions", "Civil and Criminal Risk Mitigation in Opioid Prescribing: A Content Based Workshop", and many more.
In addition to these topics, participants also will be able to explore new developments in infectious diseases, women's health, dermatology, diabetes, and more. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), in conjunction with the MSMS Foundation, will also present an Opioid Use Disorder Course.
