Dr. Utsav Nandi Receives the Bronze Level Excellence in Research Award

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Utsav Nandi has been honored with the Bronze Level Excellence in Research Award for his groundbreaking work in addressing opioid use through innovative interventions in emergency department settings. Dr. Nandi's research focuses on a large-scale intervention aimed at identifying individuals at risk of opioid misuse and providing essential harm reduction services. This approach not only addresses the immediate needs of patients but also seeks to mitigate the long-term impacts of opioid use on individuals and communities. In his project, Dr. Nandi and his team implemented a comprehensive screening process within the emergency department, allowing for timely identification of patients who may benefit from harm reduction strategies. This includes providing access to resources such as naloxone, counseling, and referrals to addiction treatment services.
We are proud to celebrate Dr. Nandi's achievements and the positive impact his research is making in the field of emergency medicine.
