One of the greatest barriers to addiction treatment is a shortage of physicians trained to provide it. The Matthew Perry Foundation Fellowship in Addiction Medicine at Mass General Brigham is helping change that by training the next generation of addiction medicine leaders and expanding access to evidence-based care.
Foundation representatives recently visited the Mass General campus and met with fellowship director Sarah Wakeman, MD, medical director of Mass General Brigham’s Program for Substance Use and Addiction Services. “Continuing to silo addiction care outside the rest of medical care and marginalize addiction as a social problem outside of the domain of physicians will only exacerbate stigma and inequities and increase the deadly impact of this epidemic,” says Dr. Wakeman.
The Matthew Perry Foundation is proud to support a program that is strengthening the addiction medicine workforce and helping more people access the care they deserve.
