Since its founding, Loma Linda University Health has innovated ways of helping people overcome addictions. For more than 25 years, Mickey Ask has worked as a nationally recognized addiction medicine educator, having trained scores of addiction medicine fellows at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center – Loma Linda and at Loma Linda University Health.
The discipline of addiction medicine has become a recognized and accredited fellowship by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Led by Lori Karan, Loma Linda University Health established the first ACGME-accredited Addiction Medicine Fellowship in the Inland Empire. Fellows receive broad training in the field and receive a unique focus on veteran’s health and economically disadvantaged individuals. They are trained to address addictions from a population medicine standpoint and are prepared to reduce the health disparities among patients needing treatment for addictions.
