This course is designed for adoption social workers and mental health providers.
What are the short and long term impacts of drinking during pregnancy or use of methamphetamines, opioids, methadone, Suboxone, marijuana, and tobacco (cigarettes or vaping)? In this course, we interview Dr. Julia Bledsoe, a board certified pediatrician specializing in adoption and prenatal exposure. She is a professor at the University of Washington in General Pediatrics, and also the faculty pediatrician at the UW FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) Clinic, the longest standing FAS center in the US.
