Invitation from Dr. Edwin Chapman to Apply for Master of Science in Addiction Policy December 1, 2022
Written by Edwin Chapman
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
There is no greater opportunity and challenge today than the need for innovation and leadership in the ever changing field of addiction medicine! Georgetown University is seeking interested candidates from every imaginable background including medicine, law, social sciences, criminal justice, faith leadership, communications technology, and most importantly, individuals with personal or family “lived experience” who can fill the current knowledge void necessary for public policies that “leave no one untreated.” Strength in treatment success is best achieved through the collaborative efforts of diverse voices at the table able to bring different perspectives in demographic and geographic advocacy. Just as every individual seeking treatment has a unique story, so too is the need for the opinions and observations of a diverse workforce that can meet that challenge.
That means Georgetown may be looking for you…. Please don’t miss this opportunity to be on the cutting edge as a “Social Engineer” for a safe and mentally healthy American future!
