Presenting at CAB 2025:
In the work setting, health care professionals’ appearance has traditionally been conservative, but recently conservative appearance has been tested by the desire for personal expression. Student perceptions regarding what is considered professional vary and first impressions of the healthcare team and patients may be impacted.
This pilot study involved health profession students delivering opioid education and naloxone training to their peers and to undergraduate resident advisors, leading to increased knowledge, reduced stigma, and enhanced advocacy. The program's success highlights a scalable model for expanding community efforts to address the opioid crisis.
