Swing by to unwind and reconnect with friends and colleagues! No registration is required. Whether you’re attending #ASAM2026 or will be nearby, we’d love to see you there.
This hybrid advocacy experience brings policy impact closer to home. As part of AMAC, addiction treatment professionals will be able to engage directly with members of Congress and their staff during the August recess, right in their home state. Through a virtual skills training and state-based team coordination, attendees will gain the tools and confidence needed to advance a national policy agenda that supports addiction treatment professionals as they care for patients and save lives.
Key Dates:
The Curbsiders Addiction Medicine Podcast is back for Season 5, supported by ACAAM, and the team wants to hear directly from clinicians. As part of the upcoming season, the Curbsiders will feature a Listener Q&A episode, inviting questions from the addiction medicine community. This is an opportunity to bring forward the real issues clinicians are grappling with in practice.
