At the Maine Osteopathic Association meeting, UNECOM students recently presented a poster addressing the utilization of geographic information systems in developing best practices in containing and controlling the opiate epidemic in Maine. Clusters of overdosed citizens were plotted. This led to other maps addressing the need for medication assisted treatment and increasing access to qualified certified Addiction Medicine professionals.

UNECOM students placed 3rd in this competition. Congratulations to a job well done!
