The focus will be on the challenges identified in delivering care to adolescents with opioid use disorder. He will also highlight barriers to treatment that must be overcome to deliver the minimum necessary care to ensure engagement in medication treatment for opioid use disorder and reducing overdose risk.

Dr. Kaliamurthy, a physician specialized in pediatric addictions, is board-certified in general psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine. He was pivotal in establishing the Addiction Clinic at Children’s National to treat children with psychiatric and substance use disorders.
