State schools, health system training doctors on opioids
EAST LANSING (AP) — Three Michigan universities are teaming up with Spectrum Health to tackle the state's opioid crisis through physician training.
The University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University are working with the Grand Rapids-based health system on training more physicians as addiction medicine specialists.
Officials say there aren't enough specially trained doctors to meet demand — fewer than 200 statewide and only one in the Upper Peninsula — as the number of opioid-related deaths has reached an all-time high.
Program organizers say they will help physicians fulfill the requirements through online courses, clinical experiences and leadership opportunities.
The doctors also will receive training to treat other addictions, including methamphetamines and alcohol.
The program has received a two-year, $1.5 million grant from federal and state sources.
Beer from 1886 shipwreck may yield new brew
COBLESKILL, N.Y. (AP) — Ahoy, beer lovers: A bottle from a 133-year-old shipwreck may yield yeast for a new brew in upstate New York.
Biotechnology students at the State University of New York at Cobleskill recently uncorked a bottle from the shipwrecked SS Oregon.
Serious Brewing Company of Howes Cave plans to develop a new brew if the students successfully extract yeast.
Bill Felter, of Serious Brewing, acquired the beer from a customer who owns an assortment of artifacts recovered from the Oregon.
The ship was en route from Liverpool, England, to New York City with 852 people aboard on March 14, 1886, when it collided with a schooner near Fire Island, New York, and sank.
All but one person survived.
Last year, an Australian brewer produced beer from yeast recovered from a 220-year-old shipwreck.
