Funded through the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the program fills a critical need for population-relevant training in health professions, and complements NAU\u2019s doctoral programs in health care and behavioral health fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section  \n    class=\"nau-block nau-block-panels   \" \n    data-layout_mobile=\"groupLayout-Stack gutter_Default panelLayoutPhotoTextVertical
