AMA video update: Experts discuss pandemic’s impact on the opioid epidemic

Doctors Being Doctors –

May 29, 2020 – And I will end by asking anyone, if they need more information specifically about the AMA’s opioid work, and I’m going to read it because I want to make sure that everyone gets the right URL. It’s www.end-opioid-epidemic.org. And they can go there to find any additional information about the great work of the Opioid Task Force and really all of the physicians who are working on the opioid epidemic across this country, physicians and organizations.

Unger: Well, Dr. Harris, thank you, and the taskforce for your continued work. And thank you, Dr. Salisbury-Afshar and Dr. Stanos for being here today and sharing your perspectives. We’ll be back on Monday with another COVID-19 update. For updated resources on COVID-19 go to the AMA COVID resource center at ama-assn.org/COVID-19. Thanks for being with us here today and take care.
