Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing opioid epidemic, rise in substance use, and social and political unrest in the US and globally has impacted how substance use-related health needs are addressed. These issues were driving forces in planning AMERSA's 44th annual conference. True to the multidisciplinary spirit, and with diversity goals and advocacy at the forefront of mind, "together we rise" became the beacon for the AMERSA 2020 conference. This commentary provides an overview of the conference proceedings, topics that were highly relevant for clinicians, educators, researchers, and advocates for change.

摘要

新冠疫情、持续的阿片类药物流行、物质使用的增加以及美国和全球范围内的社会和政治动荡，都对与物质使用相关的健康需求的应对方式产生了影响。这些问题是规划美国医学教育研究学会（AMERSA）第44届年会的驱动力。秉承多学科精神，将多样性目标和倡导置于首位，“我们共同崛起”成为了2020年AMERSA会议的指引。本评论概述了会议议程，以及对临床医生、教育工作者、研究人员和变革倡导者高度相关的主题。
