Just writing to let you know that this month our SoAP Clinical Teleconference will not be held in the usual format, but instead we will be holding a Division 50 Town Hall meeting. While the content of this meeting is focused on Division issues, there are some topics of general interest that may be relevant for others as well. Please note that the call-in number for this meeting is not the same number used for the Teleconference.
Be sure to join us for the June call: “Why addiction is not a disease: It matters!” presented by Dr. Fred Rotgers. The date of that call is Friday June 8, and the specific details will be sent out prior to that date, as per usual.
