Addiction Medicine intersects with all aspects of medicine from primary care, pediatrics, OBGYN, surgery, cardiology, gastroenterology, and of course, emergency medicine. Building up the addiction medicine workforce and integrating key aspects of addiction medicine into medical education is important.
