Experts Teach on Clinical Presentations of Substance Intoxication and Withdrawal. Here at OSU MedNet21, we have several webcasts that will satisfy these requirements and bring you the most updated evidence-based knowledge. Today’s program will cover the clinical presentations of substance intoxication and withdrawal.
For this, we’ve invited two of Ohio State University’s Addiction Medicine specialists to share their expertise. First, we’d like to welcome back to the program Associate Professor of Psychiatry Dr. Julie Teater. Julie founded and runs the Addiction Medicine fellowship at Ohio State University, is the medical director for Ohio State’s drug and alcohol treatment center Talbot Hall. She also serves on the state governor’s advisory board RecoveryOhio working to improve mental health and substance use prevention, treatment and recovery.

Additionally, she is board certified in Addiction Medicine and championed Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid use disorder in the emergency department.
