COPE works with medical schools to ensure all rising physicians know how to provide care to people with SUD.

The Coalition on Physician Education in Substance Use Disorders (COPE) is a voluntary organization devoted to improving patient care and the public health by assuring that all physicians are trained to prevent, identify, and provide specialty-appropriate interventions for patients with substance use problems.

Funding for this initiative was made possible (in part) by grant no.1H79TI88037 from SAMHSA.
