Register Now: Third Annual Conference on Ethics and Opioids

The University of South Alabama Office of Continuing Medical Education will host the third annual Conference on Ethics and Opioids. The conference is set for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Nov.1, at the USA Faculty Club.

The ethics and opioids talks will identify and analyze frequent professional and popular beliefs about human nature and the personal and societal factors that influence a client’s direction in life. Based on that analysis we will discuss the characteristics of an ethical and effective practitioner and the ethical dilemmas they often face. We will then explore ethical behavior in a therapeutic relationship and apply those concepts to case scenarios with course participants’ direct involvement.

The conference will be of particular interest to physicians, nurses, counselors, psychologists, social workers, law enforcement, mental health professionals, parents, and any other individuals involved in the assessment, treatment, ethical considerations, and rehabilitation efforts of clients/patients as well as those confronting the crisis of opioid use and addiction.

Register online, or call (251) 414-8080 or email cme@southalabama.edu.

The Faculty Club is located at 6348 Fincher Road on USA's main campus.
