James W. –
The 4 video files are quite long since they are continuous recordings of the full conference. Would have preferred individual lecture files for easier navigation.

Good overview of multiple substance use disorders in a single conference. The stimulant use disorder section was particularly timely. Wish there was more on cannabis.
Rachel D. –
The buprenorphine initiation module was exactly what I needed for my practice. UCSF faculty delivered practical, evidence-based content I could apply immediately.
Laura M. –
Solid content on alcohol and benzodiazepine use disorders. The lived experience keynote was a powerful and grounding start to the conference.
Nadia K. –
Attended the live virtual conference and then purchased the recordings for reference. The small group discussions translated well to the recorded format.
S. Patel –
The pregnancy and SUDs session was outstanding — a topic that does not get enough attention in most addiction medicine courses. Highly recommend this conference.
