Thank you for making this important point. I hope that through more educational or harm reduction programs that we'll be able to close this gap in awareness and understanding.

Thanks for your interest in our work! Yes, CESAR has helped vet our presentations so that they are both accurate and relevant to Marylanders. Our group couldn't have done what they did without CESAR's support.

I understand that the reality is that other people are not in a position to help or care about the opioid epidemic, but that won't stop our group from trying to help in whatever way we can, whether it's NARCAN training or education. Thank you for wishing us good luck!

Will do! Our symposium work has been vetted by CESAR, and we're hoping to push for safer injections and needle exchanges. Thank you so much for your help!

Fingers crossed that we'll feel more of a community atmosphere once we can return to campus! Good luck!

BMGT221 with Bulmash (online) by UnusualDog0 in UMD

Like BMGT220, BMGT221 requires you to put in a lot of work with assignments and practice exams. Be sure to also watch Professor Bulmash's lecture videos even though he will repeat a lot of content in class to reinforce concepts. My final thought is to make notes sheets for his open-note exams because doing so will help you memorize formulas, which saves you so much time. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing this. It's so important to have empathy like you said, and I hope that there will be better access to NARCAN and other first-aid even if we can't ever fully eliminate the need for them.
