Addiction Medicine Board Certification: Shifting Practice?

Host: Stuart Gitlow, MD, MPH, MBA Guest: Kevin Kunz, MD, MPH Addiction Medicine may be on track to become a board certified specialty in the future, differentiating itself from the current ABMS-approved subspecialty of Addiction Psychiatry. How has the advancing field reached this stage, and what does it mean for us and our patients? Additionally, what will an Addiction Specialist be able to do that an Addiction Psychiatrist cannot, and vice-versa? Dr. Kevin Kunz, Interim President of the American Board of Addiction Medicine, remarks on this developmental trend from the field. Hosted by Dr. Stu Gitlow.
