The MGH Psychiatry Academy faculty invite you to join us at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa for our annual Substance Use Disorder conference, held on February 19, 2024 to February 21, 2024.
Substance use disorders are complex and have a huge impact on patients, families and communities. They challenge even experienced health care professionals to stay current with evolving guidelines. That’s why the agenda focuses on a broad update across the spectrum of substance use disorders.

The MGH Psychiatry Academy faculty share their experience as both clinical caregivers and research experts. They make time to answer questions and help you find solutions for complex conditions.
This conference lets you engage dozens of renowned clinician-researchers, get your clinical questions answered, and translate enhanced knowledge into optimal patient care.
