Presenting at CAB 2025:
Recently, the National Academy of Medicine established an Opioid Action Collaborative. We participated this year to enhance an existing interprofessional education activity with content about stigma reduction and patient/family member lived experiences. Our activity includes prescribing and non-prescribing, human and animal health care learners, broadening their interprofessional collaboration knowledge.
