Tipu Khan, MD, DFASAM I am an academic ADM physician - ADM Fellowship Director and Chief of Service for our county hospital. Under my leadership we have instituted a busy outpatient clinic, inpatient consult service, and inpatient detox program which is the first of its kind in California. I am a core faculty member for our FM residency and train all our residents in basic MAT. I helped author the CMQCC NAS toolkit for managing SUD in pregnancy. I have been involved with the CSAM Conference planning committee for 4 years and will be the 2026 Chair.

Why does all that matter? I work for a county hospital in Southern California and through my tenure I have learned that 10% of what we do in ADM is medicine, 90% is advocacy. I would like to translate my experience as a front-line physician and leader to advocacy on the regional and national level. I look forward to learning from the wonderful minds at ASAM while working collaboratively with our thought leaders on advancing the delivery of Addiction Medicine Care.
