I’ve been reading about a bill that would restrict the use of telemedicine to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid use disorder if passed. I worry that this will reduce access to this life-saving, safe medication, especially for people in rural areas. palegis.us/bills/?q=2023/…

Great turnout for what is sure to be a fun and cutthroat trivia session in juniper ballroom #sgim23
Standing room only during this fabulous talk on bupe for pain by @alizanorwood and @LizCuevas1010 and others. In an act of shameless self-promotion, will mention I’ll be presenting a poster 42 at 4:40 today on our bupe for pain clinic within VA. #sgim23
Great talk about missed histoplasmosis and HIV infection by Nilesh Kapoor. Great teaching points about clinical reasoning. I’m proud of #Sgim for highlighting the great work of medical students (and residents and fellows!) in our plenary.
Great talk on a transitional bupe/primary care clinic by Dr. Incze @MInczeMD Incze from Utah. Impressive work on outreach, use of peer support, and expanding the OUD workforce through education. #sgim23
