BFI Conference Publications

A Critical Issues/Consensus Conference entitled "Addressing the Crisis: Helping Graduate Medical Education to Integrate Addiction Medicine and Science into Primary Care", which was held in Los Angeles December 4-6, 2008, drew attention to the virtual absence of formal graduate medical education for primary care physicians in the recognition and treatment of addictive disease. The ultimate aim of the Conference was to reduce and prevent the harm being done to patients by physicians who, in the absence of adequate training, lack the skills and competencies to diagnose and treat addicted patients in their practices.
