The ACADEMY is the name of a new joint initiative between COM-T and Banner - University Medicine that is meant to elevate the profile of our respective entities by highlighting the expertise of our faculty and clinicians. In the coming months, we will host a series of four CME events under The ACADEMY name. Each live CME event will feature two or more speakers who address a topic of broad appeal to the physician community in southern Arizona. The first ACADEMY CME event, to be held here in the HSIB forum on January 10, will feature Drs. Chiasson, Ibrahim, and Vanderah, who will discuss innovations in pain management and safe prescribing of opioids.
