American Society of Addiction Medicine Turns 50
A physician for 25 years, Dr. Kathleen Whaley treats patients who face drug addiction in New York State. To augment her work as an MD, Dr. Kathleen Whaley maintains membership in the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).
ASAM will celebrate its 50th anniversary at its annual conference, focusing on innovations in addiction medicine and science. Some 2,300 members are expected to gather April 4-7, 2019, at the Hilton Orlando.
The meeting is designed for counselors, doctors, researchers, students, policymakers, and retired professionals. Participants can learn more about new research and clinical practices, discover new treatment methods, and examine the implications of recent changes in public policy. Members will also have a chance to expand their professional network and earn continuing medical education credits.
The schedule includes social events, such as the Saturday night Fun, Fab, and Fifty Shindig, and conferees can also set aside time to visit Orlando’s famous theme parks. The conference is held in partnership with the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
