Since January, VA pharmacists have, legally, initiated buprenorphine treatment to 861 Veterans with opioid use disorder
Pharmacists can and DO play a role in management of opioid use disorder, including a collaborative & independent treatment! @AJ_Gordon at #AMERSA2023
As a future hospitalist + addiction doc, starting patients on meds for opioid addiction while hospitalized is a hugely rewarding aspect of care. In KY (+ other states), people who are incarcerated are denied this opportunity . This is a blatant violation of Estelle v. Gamble.

John Calipari on August 11: "And the reason is, this is a basketball school. It’s always been that. Alabama is a football school. So is Georgia."
Jan. 7: football school 78, basketball school 52.
Bottom line…this is on Calipari. This team should be good. And it’s been not only underachieving, it’s been embarrassing against good teams
There is no one else to blame
Breaking News: Senate passes omnibus bill that includes ASHP-supported Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act, eliminating requirement for clinicians to apply for federal X-waiver before prescribing buprenorphine for the treatment of substance use disorder. https://t.co/uLhpTly62w
