    16. The Evolution and Perfection of Monetary Policy

    Financial Markets (ECON 252) Uploaded 19-11-08 Central Banks, originally created as bankers' banks, implement monetary policy using their leverage over the supply of money and credit standards. Since the Bank of England was founded in 1694, through the gold standard which lasted until the 1930s, and into modern times, central banks have pursued monetary policy to stabilize the banking system. Central banks monitor currency flows and inflation, acting when crises, such as bank runs, emerged. More recently, central banks have taken an increasingly expansive role in stabilizing economic fluctuations. In the yet to be confirmed current recession, the Federal Reserve has used open market operations and innovative financial arrangements to try to forestall the recession and bail out failing financial institutions. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

    4.2 How do you talk about medications for Opioid Use Disorder? – Addiction Treatment Course

    Language shapes how we understand and treat addiction. In this lesson, you’ll learn why outdated terms like “substitution therapy” or “clean” vs. “dirty” can reinforce stigma—and how to talk about medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in ways that reflect evidence-based practice. Discover why MOUD is not “just replacing one drug with another” and why relapse should never mean the end of care. Uploaded 04-08-25 🎯 What You’ll Learn: - Explain why terms like "substitution therapy" and "medication-assisted treatment" are misleading - Describe the differences between addiction and physical dependence - Understand why MOUD should be considered first-line treatment - Identify harmful myths around relapse and treatment discontinuation - Apply non-stigmatizing language when discussing opioid use and recovery 📚 About the Course This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders. By delving into a model case performed by actors, seven Yale instructors from various fields provide techniques to screen your patients for substance use disorder risk, diagnose patients to gauge the severity of their use, directly manage treatment plans, refer out to treatment services, and navigate the various conditions that may limit your patient’s access to treatment. You will ultimately be prepared to provide compassionate and evidence-based care to a large population of patients living with addiction — a chronic, often relapsing-remitting disease, but a treatable one.
