  • Opportunity to Participate in a Panel on Pain in Advanced Cancer from Jessica Merlin, MD,

    We are looking for individuals who hold a DEA license and prescribe opioids (including buprenorphine or methadone) in an outpatient setting. We would like to invite these individuals to participate in a 3-round online panel about opioid prescribing in individuals with advanced cancer experience opioid misuse or use disorder. Normally, we would invite participants for a two-day meeting, but instead, we are able to do this more efficiently in this 3 -round online panel that will take approximately two hours of your time in total. We are offering $100 for completion of all 3 rounds.

    If you are interested in learning more about this study and to express your interest in participating, please fill out this brief 5-minute survey. We will use the results of this survey to select a large and diverse group of participants with relevant expertise. Please email any questions to merlinjs@pitt.edu. Thank you for your consideration.
