As the world reckons with the COVID-19 pandemic, many other public health crises have become increasingly apparent in cities across the nation. Join the UC Alumni Association Academic Health Center alumni engagement team for a webinar series that explores these crises with an attempt to understand the causes and consequences of health inequities.

The third session of five in the health inequities series is “Pain and Prejudice - Inequity in the Opioid Epidemic” presented by Daniel Arendt, Pharm.D., BCPS, Assistant Professor of Pain Management and Opioid Stewardship at UC College of Pharmacy and Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Pain Stewardship at UC Health. This session will explore the historical context of Opioid use in the United States, dating back to the civil war era, which provides a better understanding of how the approach to treating both pain and substance use disorder has evolved over time. The session will also address how stigma, bias and systemic inequity have shaped the development of and the response to the opioid epidemic. The session will conclude with a focus on the current response to the opioid epidemic and explore how practitioners can evolve approaches to opioids to improve both the quality of care that patients receive and reduce the harms associated with Opioid Use Disorder.

1 clock hour of continuing education credit is available for pharmacists in all 50 states and Ohio social workers. If you are interested in earning CEU’s for these two disciplines, please contact Bri Coggins. CEUs are not available for any other disciplines.
