Harm Reduction & Addiction Medicine

What is harm reduction?

"A set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs (PWUD)"

 -National Harm Reduction Coalition

We are a dual CHIP program and Interest Group committed to improving medical student education in addiction medicine and supporting people who use drugs (PWUD) in the community.
