This educational activity, happening Wednesday April 1 from noon to 1 p.m., aims to address the gaps in knowledge, skills, and competency among family physicians in managing substance use disorders (SUDs).<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

By providing comprehensive training and resources on stigma reduction, harm reduction strategies, and integrated care models, the activity will enhance physicians\u2019 ability to deliver equitable, high-quality care, particularly to marginalized communities. Additionally, the activity will equip family physicians with practical tools and evidence-based approaches for SUD prevention, early intervention, and treatment in community settings, ultimately improving health equity and patient outcomes. At the end of this activity, learners will be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Analyze the impact of stigma and implicit bias on the care of patients with substance use disorders (SUDs), particularly in marginalized communities, and identify strategies to foster a culturally responsive and equitable approach.<\/li>\n
  2. Implement harm reduction strategies, including evidence-based interventions, to support patients with SUDs in achieving better health outcomes and minimizing risks.<\/li>\n
  3. Evaluate integrated care models and system-level approaches to enhance coordination between primary care, behavioral health, and community-based services for managing SUDs effectively.<\/li>\n
  4. Apply practical tools and evidence-based approaches for SUD prevention, early intervention, and treatment in community-based primary care settings to improve patient outcomes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p><\/div>
