What if the conversations we have with students today could shape the care patients receive tomorrow?

In this episode, we explore a creative adaptation of clinician outreach education—bringing the academic detailing model into the classroom to reach future clinicians before they enter practice. Through open, real-world conversations about overdose prevention, stigma, and patient-centered care, students begin building skills and perspectives they’ll carry into the field.

Tune in to unpack the opportunities and challenges of this approach, including measuring long-term impact, maintaining connections over time, and tailoring content across disciplines to meet the needs of medical, nursing, and pharmacy students.
