WISAM Open Exchange 

The Wisconsin Society of Addiction Medicine hosts a series of online forums for discussion on issues affecting one's practice, patient care or the overall addiction medicine landscape.   The online "Open Exchange" is held throughout the year and open to members and non-members alike to informally interact with WISAM leaders.

Let us know if you have a topic for future discussion!
