New Concepts in the Neurobiology of Pain and Addiction

New Concepts in the Neurobiology of Pain and Addiction is organized by California Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) and will be held during Nov 30, 2015 - Nov 29, 2018.

The target audience for this medical event is Addiction medicine specialists who want an overview of the latest developments in the field and their relevance to clinical practice, Primary care clinicians who want to get a better understanding of addiction and manage patients with addictions in their practice, Public health officials who want an understanding of the current state of addiction treatment, Non-physicians who are involved in the treatment of addiction. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Conference Description :
Currently, chronic pain and addiction are treated as separate disorders. Because of shared neurobiology between the two disorders, symptoms and treatment for either one of these disorders will impact recovery from the other. This talk addresses one aspect of overlapping neurobiology and implications for clinical care.

Conference Objectives are :
Apply understanding of shared neurobiological adaptations in reward learning systems underlying addiction and chronic pain to improve treatment and prevention efforts for patients with either condition.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
