The course was really helpful in providing a detailed overview of the pharmacology of addiction, including the different types of medications used to treat addiction. I appreciated the case studies and group discussions, which helped me learn from others and gain practical insights. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive.
