NOVEMBER 10, 2021
The 5th Annual Kansas Opioid and Stimulant Conference will be held virtually on November 10th 2021.
Join us on November 10th to learn more about the opioid and stimulant crisis in Kansas. Engaging together in this proactive effort to build a collaborative response will help to prevent the escalation of this crisis in Kansas. This year the conference will have a track dedicated to the emerging issue surrounding the rise in stimulant morbidity and mortality.
Since we needed to transition this conference to a virtual setting again this year, we are making it completely FREE to attend this year! We will still offer the same variety of great presentations as well as the accredited CEUs by discipline.
