Despite affecting more Americans than diabetes, substance use is often left out of routine medical care. In this episode, NYU Langone Health’s Dr. Jennifer McNeely—a clinician investigator and addiction medicine physician—explains why that must change. From the surprising history behind addiction’s exclusion from mainstream medicine to the innovative screening tools shaping the future of care, this conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in addiction care and healthcare policy.
🎙️ Dr. McNeely is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and co-director of the Section on Tobacco, Alcohol, and Drug Use.
