Addiction Psychiatrist Dr. Wiplove (Wip) Lamba and Addictions Case Manager and former addict Jean-Paul (JP) Michael are in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) annual conference. Wip loves this conference. When he started doing addiction medicine, he felt like he was in a bubble. Providing psychiatric care to people who use drugs or addiction medicine care to psychiatric patients may seem like commonplace, but usually those two fields are siloed. CSAM connected Wip to a community of health care providers that were really trying to figure out how to best serve people who use drugs. It's JP's very proud to be presenting for second time at CSAM, although this is his first in-person opportunity. For those of you in health care, it may be worth considering joining as well.
