As #CPDD2026 #CPDD26 #RSA2026 #RSA26 roll on, I am MOST looking forward to #AHSR #AHSR2026 ... a return to @parcka.bsky.social at the @utah.edu. After a successful #AHSR2019...#AHSR2026 is downtown hashtag#SaltLakeCity in October 2026! medicine.utah.edu/internal-med...

Mortality Among Veterans With Opioid Use Disorder After Medical Hospitalization This cohort study estimates the risk of opioid-related and all-cause mortality during prespecified time periods after hospital discharge among US veterans with opioid use disorder.

Cool work with fellow investigators at the @VASLCHCS, @parcka.bsky.social, and @utah.edu where we explore outcomes of patients with #opioidusedisorder after discharge. Published this week in @jamaIM jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I'm still proud of my service, even while all around me are worried about how others value this service.

An effect of federal downsizing: a VA steward was released: she facilitated the voices of patients with opioid addiction to provide valuable feedback to VA investigators to address opioid addiction among veterans. She championed Veteran voices. We are losing people that impact Veteran outcomes.

In the newest #episode of Let's Talk About Drugs in the Intermountain West #LTAD we sit down with Dr. Amanda Mclearn-Montz, a dedicated Triple Board resident at the University of Utah to learn more about what brought her to this work & what's still to come in her career. Listen now!

I'm a federal employee for ~25 years. I could have been paid 2-3x more in the private sector. I choose government service as a physician to take care of Veterans who are homeless & who have substance use disorders. Many colleagues have followed me into this service. I am a proud federal employee.

Screenshot of the first page of the DADR paper "Receipt of medications for opioid use disorder among rural and urban veterans health administration patients"

Rural VA patients with OUD are less likely to receive methadone or naltrexone but more likely to get buprenorphine compared to urban peers. Equitable access to MOUD remains a challenge. Learn more: https://buff.ly/4gKf4Nq #PsychSciSky #AddictionSci #DrugSky

4/ Addressing systemic barriers and stigma and supporting clinicians who prescribe buprenorphine for opioid use disorder is crucial for improving treatment access. Read the full paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

3/ Even in counties with high opioid overdose rates, the removal of the X-waiver didn't significantly impact buprenorphine access.

2/ We explored if removing the X-waiver improved treatment access by examining whether buprenorphine prescriptions increased in counties with higher OD rates and fewer waivered prescribers compared to others. We found no significant effect of the X-waiver elimination on buprenorphine dispensation

1/ Excited to share recent paper, "Examining the Impact of Eliminating the X Waiver on Buprenorphine Dispensation in 63 Counties in Pennsylvania," in @sajamersa.bsky.social led by @beccabilden.bsky.social
