On April 19, Dr. David Tauben, clinical professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Chief of Pain Medicine at the University of Washington, will present on chronic pain treatment and the opioid epidemic.

“The Opioid Epidemic” is part of a series of free lectures called “Next Generation Medicine,” presented by the UW School of Medicine-Gonzaga University Regional Health Partnership. Opening remarks will be made by Dr. Potyk, chief of medical education for the UWSOM-GU Partnership, and Courtney Law, Ph.D., director of the partnership.
