Join us for a timely and thought-provoking interdisciplinary panel on “Innovative Approaches to Opioid Use Disorder Management in the Fentanyl Era,” co-sponsored by the MATRIX-N cluster and DMCBH. Leading experts will explore emerging solutions, from novel therapeutics and withdrawal management strategies to patient-centered research and cross-sector collaboration. Together, they will examine how the realities of the fentanyl era are reshaping treatment paradigms, exposing critical gaps in translation from research to practice, and challenging us to design more effective, scalable interventions to drive innovation and improve patient outcomes.
Whether you are a researcher, clinician, trainee, or community member, this event offers a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue on addressing one of today’s most pressing public health crises. Stay after the panel for a social hour with food and drinks to continue the conversations.
