In order to combat the devastating heroin, fentanyl & #opioidepidemic, a critically important piece of the puzzle is to ensure we have more trained professionals, particularly physicians, who can prevent & treat #addiction & substance abuse disorder.
This week, I introduced the #OpioidWorkforceAct with @RepSchneider @RepStefanik & @RepAnnieKuster to help provide more residency positions to hospitals that have programs focused on addiction medicine, addiction psychiatry or pain management. http://susanwbrooks.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/brooks-introduces-bipartisan-opioid-bill …pic.twitter.com/ZC88KAdALA
This #bipartisan bill to expand graduate medical education (GME) aims to alleviate the worsening physician shortage, which is anticipated to be as high as 121,000 physicians by 2032 according to a study by @AAMCtoday.
The #OpioidWorkforceAct of 2019 would create 1,000 additional residency positions over 5 yrs to hospitals w/ addiction medicine, addiction psychiatry, or pain management programs.
The #opioidcrisis will not stop taking innocent lives overnight, but without more trained doctors ready to help people who are struggling because of substance abuse, drug & opioid related overdose deaths will continue to claim more lives in Indiana & beyond.

I have been telling people about these ideas for years and many more. As a retired USAF critical care nurse and pain advocate I know the struggle first hand many are dealing with and the red tape politicians throw up to stop your ideas.
