Changing Minds by Anna Morgan-Barsamian, MPH, RN, PMP, Senior Manager, Training & Education, NaRCAD

Episode notes

​What if access to medications for opioid use disorder didn’t have to start in a clinic?

In this episode of Changing Minds, host Anna Morgan-Barsamian is joined by Finn Black and Rebecca Martinez from the Center for Innovative Academic Detailing on Opioids and Stimulants (CIAO). They discuss how academic detailing supported the rapid implementation of a telehealth and street-based initiative designed to expand access to buprenorphine for people who use opioids. The conversation highlights patient-centered program design, scalable clinician support, and key lessons for cities responding to urgent public health challenges.
