This quarterly call, facilitated by Chris Buresh, MD, MPH, DTM&H, and Wendy Williams-Gilbert, PhD, RN will cover implementing and supporting medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) programs

The first meeting will go through the plan and details and will establish priorities for the rest of the year. After that we will devote part of each meeting to solutions to problems that were previously discussed. These calls are meant to provide a space to share best practices and lessons learned to support patients with OUD who present to the ED.
