Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To increase and improve the education of physicians about addiction and drug dependencies.

To increase and improve the education of physicians about alcoholism and other drug dependencies-specifically about the evidence, the science base, and how to apply it with patients. We particularly stress the clinical continuum of diagnosis, treatment and recovery for the patient and their family members.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
MERF works to increase and improve the education of physicians about all aspects of addiction, including harmful drinking or drug use, medical sequelae, family impact, recovery and how to support it. To address that need, MERF is building upon its years of experience by supporting programs of continuing medical education in substance abuse and in providing annual scholarships and mentoring for physicians-in-training. Scholarship recipients demonstrate vastly improved awareness of addiction medicine science and practice. In recent years, MERF has also been providing mentoring for primary care physicians in order to improve access to medication assisted treatment for patients.-$8,252
