Making the Connection Between

Expanding Access to Buprenorphine
for Opioid Use Disorder
speaker: arwen poDesta, MD
traCk: aDDiCtion & suBstanCe use
DisorDers
The opioid epidemic continues to ravage
communities across the country, with many
individuals struggling with opioid use disorder
(OUD). Medication-assisted therapy (MAT) with
buprenorphine has emerged as a gold standard
treatment for OUD. However, access to this
treatment has been limited due to the requirement
of an X-waiver for healthcare providers to prescribe
buprenorphine.
This session will focus on the recent removal of
the X-waiver requirement and its implications for
psychiatric medical professionals. The session will
provide an overview of MAT with buprenorphine,
including its efficacy and safety, as well as strategies
for initiating and managing treatment. Attendees will
gain an understanding of best practices for MAT with
buprenorphine and the latest developments in policy
that impact their practice.
Navigating the ADHD Transition
From Childhood to Adulthood
speaker: tiM wilens, MD

psyCHiatry
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that
can have a significant impact on an individual's
academic, social, and occupational functioning.
However, the symptoms and challenges associated
with ADHD can shift and evolve as an individual
progresses through different stages of development.
In this session, we will explore the unique challenges
and opportunities associated with ADHD during the
transition from childhood to adulthood, including
issues related to medication management, executive
functioning, social skills, and career development.
We will also discuss strategies for supporting
individuals with ADHD as they navigate this critical
transition period. By the end of this session,
attendees will have a deeper understanding of the
complexities of ADHD across the lifespan and be
better equipped to provide effective, evidencebased
care to individuals with ADHD.
Social Media and Mental Health: A
Practical Approach to Addressing in
Clinical Practice
speaker: sara JoHansen, MD, Ms
traCk: teCHnology
Social media platforms can provide opportunities
for social connection and companionship, and
these online communities can lessen the impact of
loneliness and isolation on mental and emotional
health. However, numerous studies provide strong
evidence that social media use can actually increase
feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem,
and isolation. Particularly for adolescents, social
media platforms can carry serious risks, such as
cyberbullying, sexualization, disrupted identity
development, and impaired relationship formation.
This session will provide an overview of positive
effects of social connection and companionship and
explore the consequences of excessive reliance on
social media outlets for human interaction.
