Healthcare professionals are often the first point of contact for individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs), making it essential to minimize stigma and bias. Begin breaking the stigma by learning and applying destigmatizing patient interviewing techniques through practice with standardized patients.
The event will feature keynote presentations on SUDs and harm reduction strategies, methods to destigmatizing the patient interview process, and a personal account of resilience and recovery. Small interprofessional teams will engage in various simulated patient interviews to determine the patients needs and will provide recommendations for improved health outcomes.
