- Physicians who are planning to sit for the Certification/Recertification Examination in Addiction Medicine will find the course a highly effective adjunct to their preparations for the exam.
- Addiction specialists will find the Review Course a useful “refresher” because of its clinical orientation and focus on recent developments in addiction science and practice.
- Non-specialist physicians and other health care professionals will find in the course a succinct summary of the knowledge needed to identify and manage problems related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, which studies show are present in one of every 10 patients seen in primary care settings.

Below are some brief highlights of the Strategy, which harnesses the collaborative strength of local, State, tribal, and Federal agencies, community-based organizations, and other nongovernmental partners.
