Résumé

Members of the AMA Opioid Task Force include the American Medical Association, the American Osteopathic Association, 25 specialty and state medical societies, and the American Dental Association. In 2015, the task force issued 6 recommendations focused on specific actions to help reverse the nation's opioid epidemic. Clinicians have demonstrated progress in each of these areas, and, while much work remains, making good policy will be key to motivating continued progress. Recommendations adopted in 2019 focus on tangible actions policymakers can take to help end the epidemic. This article offers an overview of task force recommendations.
