Here's A Snippet of What You'll learn

"Cocaine and alcohol use disorders (AUD) have continued to surge across the Northeast for decades, especially in communities like Greater Hartford—yet most outpatient physicians feel under-equipped to respond. This session introduces new referral options for patients struggling with AUD and presents an emerging model for inpatient cocaine withdrawal management with seamless outpatient follow-up. Grounded in whole-person, osteopathic care, this talk will empower physicians to confidently support patients with substance use disorders—without needing to become addiction specialists."

What's Next After Diagnosis? New Referral Options for Cocaine and Alcohol Use Disorders for Physicians

"Preventive medicine plays an indispensable role in healthcare. This presentation explains the significance of preventive medicine, showing how routine vaccinations and screenings can avert disease altogether or detect it at the earliest and most manageable stage. It emphasizes the direct clinical benefits for patients: reduced complications, lower treatment burdens, and enhanced quality of life."

Parul Chhatpar, DO

The Power of Preventive Medicine and the Importance of Vaccines and Screenings

This presentation will explore the critical role of advocacy in shaping health policy, specifically tailored for osteopathic physicians and students. The policy made in Washington, DC, directly impacts physicians and their ability to care for patients. Attendees will learn effective strategies for advocacy, how to measure and communicate its impact, and ways to collaborate with national and state organizations to advance key legislative priorities. Additionally, the presentation will demystify the legislative process, providing a clear understanding of how a bill becomes law at the federal level, with a focus on the AOA's current federal legislative priorities.
