Course Overview
This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on August 25, 2025 - 4am AWST, 6am AEST, 8am NZST.
Many drugs have addictive qualities. And illicit drugs can still be described with much of the same language and parameters as pharmaceutical agents. As Chinese medical practitioners, we see our patients taking and potentially abusing opioids, benzodiazepines, anorexiants, and cannabis as well as other drugs of abuse. We will look at the nature of addiction as well as categories of illicit drugs, while diving into the details.
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
