Medical students Maria Rodriguez and Alina Syros won the Representation in Research award from ASAM for their groundbreaking South Florida pharmacy study.
Alarming Findings
After interviewing 200 pharmacies, they found 62% had no buprenorphine available - blocking access to life-saving medication for opioid use disorder.
Taking Action
The students are working to create change at local pharmacies. Miami-Dade County's Central Intake Unit can help connect you to treatment.
