About This Event

Researchers and care providers are struggling to learn how to treat people who have used substances never intended for human consumption.

We're in the "era of synthetics," says Caleb Banta-Green, Ph.D., UW acting professor in psychiatry and behavioral health, and drug epidemiologist. He and Spokane provider Amy Burns, M.D., of Providence Psychiatry will discuss data, intervention, medication, and how the community can help.
