The twin crises of addiction and overdose remain headline news, with a growing toll in lives lost and ruined. In this Medical Grand Rounds presentation, three of our faculty experts in addiction medicine will describe ongoing efforts to address these crises, the disproportionate toll that addiction poses to marginalized populations, innovative new approaches, and ongoing challenges.
Speakers Ayesha Appa, MD, is an assistant professor of Medicine in the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases & Global Medicine at ZSFG. She completed fellowships in both Infectious Diseases and Addiction Medicine. Her research is focused on the implementation of models that provide simultaneous treatment of substance use disorders and HIV or other serious infections.
Marlene Martin, MD, is an associate professor of Medicine, based in the Division of Hospital Medicine at ZSFG. She also serves as director of the award-winning Addiction Care Team (ACT), an interprofessional consult service that provides compassionate care focused on harm reduction and evidence-based treatment for patients with substance use disorders.
Christy Soran, MD, MPH, is an assistant professor of Medicine and medical director of the Outpatient Buprenorphine Induction Clinic (OBIC). Her areas of interest are the integration of addiction medicine treatment into primary care, the overlap of substance use and chronic pain, medical education, patient-empowered clinical care, and building trustworthiness in medicine.
