Description
Is unhealthy alcohol use going unrecognized in your practice? This interactive session examines AUD as a chronic, relapsing condition with consequences across multiple organ systems. Through case based discussion, you'll apply validated screening tools, recognize comorbidities that should prompt screening, and practice brief interventions that fit team based primary care.
