5/4/04

a group of medical, nursing and physician assistant students at schools across the country have launched a student-run, student-created website, http://www.hpssat.org, as part of an advocacy effort to improve substance abuse training on their campuses.

the newly formed group, health professional students for substance abuse training (hpssat), has created the website as a tool for empowering students to advocate for more substance abuse training at their schools and increasing students' access to educational resources. the site serves as a one-stop shop for information about curriculum development, state and national news, and educational opportunities in the field of substance abuse. read more information on the initiative at http://www.hpssat.org.
