I am thrilled to share my latest article. More works need to be done. "Patients may suffer due to their family member's substance use disorder but hesitate to discuss it because of stigma and shame. Primary care physicians can help." @FPMJournal #MedEd aafp.org/pubs/fpm/issues/202…

Appreciate the new @FPMJournal supplement around #HepB Vaccination. Great review including the new vax options and review of some common challenges (like what to do if they had dose 1 elsewhere with a brand you don’t carry in your practice?) #AAFPCME
