Join Amy Baxter, a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine, as we explore the intricate balance between physicians’ roles in perpetuating the crisis, addressing systemic factors, and the influence of pharmaceutical industry-sponsored education. Discover the brain’s response to pain and opioids, contextual risk factors for opioid use disorder post-surgery, and the potential of non-opioid alternatives.
