Q4 One way to get folks interested in a career focused on addiction is to talk about how inspiring many of our patients are. Overcoming so much trauma, so many practical barriers. And so resilient! I’m humbled. #addictionchat

@GraykenBMC A4 just take a look at how media portrays people who use drugs—overwhelmingly Black and brown images, even though most people w SUD in the US are white…#addictionchat
