Statement from @NYCHealthCommr Vasan on the Supreme Court decision to strike down Roe V. Wade:

Amazing @EinsteinDeptMed Grand Rounds from @TiffanyLuMD of @MonteAddMed on Stigma and SUDs in health care settings and even more impressive speaking on all the things we can do to address it! 👏👏 Proud to work on a team modeling non-stigmatizing and patient centered care.

Happy 1st birthday to the Addiction Consult Service! 🎂 🎉 With leadership of @DrKristineTL & our amazing faculty, fellows, trainees and peers, our ACS provides transformative, patient-centered, evidence-based harm reduction and treatment services. @MonteAddMed @MontefioreDGIM

Health workers in NYS: Overdose prevention centers save lives all around the world, and #OnPointNYC has shown they work in NY, too. Endorse NYS OPC legislation at bit.ly/opcs4health @VOCALNewYork @NYharmreduction @cornerproject @housingworks @CallenLorde @NMA_MCMS @NYSAFP

2021 provisional data from @nycHealthy show that drug overdose deaths are increasing at record numbers. It’s never been more important to embrace harm reduction & treat addiction. That’s why @NYSOASAS is expanding support for these services across NY. www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/dow…

This was a labor of love - made possible by an amazing clinical team + fantastic study team. We need to improve linkage to care for office based buprenorphine treatment, starting w low threshold policies! @laila_PMD @DrChinazo @m_masyuko @JoelBumol @MonteAddMed

Confused about the change in the DEA 3-day rule? The new rule allows providers at clinics, hospitals, or ERs to dispense a 3-day supply of OUD medications at once, instead of a 1-day supply. Providers do NOT need to have an X-waiver for this.

Couldn't be prouder!

“Addiction medicine is medicine” - IM residents find the new, required #addictionmedicine rotation to be highly valuable (esp the consult service!!!) from my amazing mentors @TiffanyLuMD @DrKristineTL @MelissaSteinMD @MonteAddMed #sgim22 #meded

For more than 29 years, we have dedicated our lives to ending #overdose deaths & the criminalization & stigma associated with substance use. Being the 1st OPC site in the US is an honor & incredible step forward in ending the #overdosecrisis #wearethemedicine #THISSITESAVESLIVES

Congratulations to the incomparable Dr. Chinazo Cunningham! @DrChinazo

Its official!🙌🏾🙌🏾 I, along with @imanfhassan, will be doing a workshop on integrating structural competency into existing curricula at the 2022 @acgme Annual Educational Conference-Meaning in Medicine: Rebuilding Connections #MedEd #GME

Effective interventions are critical to curbing #COVID19 transmission in prisons, jails & community. @MatthewAkiyama was awarded a 5-year grant from @NIMHD to evaluate an onsite point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 testing & education strategy in a corrections-focused community-based org.

Thats a wrap 🎬 🙌🏾 @MontefioreDGIM it was a pleasure to share our faculty development series on Structural Competency as a framework for being Anti-racist in #MedEd We enjoyed the robust conversations and eagerness to participate and learn! #AcademicTwitter #internalmedicine
