Dr. Aaron Greenblatt, Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine and Psychiatry at the School of Medicine, has been awarded a Fulbright-Collegium fellowship. This prestigious award will support six months of research and teaching at Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, in Lyon, France.
Beginning in September, Dr. Greenblatt and his French colleagues will conduct a comparative study of addiction care in French and US correctional facilities and establish working trans-Atlantic partnerships between addiction training programs. He is interested in what lessons can be learned from the French approach, which offers universal access to opioid use disorder medications to all prisoners. In the US, by contrast, only 13% of jails offer all prisoners opioid use disorder medication.
