Seminar Speaking Points:

  1. Bring awareness to the medical community that anyone can be adversely affected by the opioid epidemic, including physicians.  I will share my story of how a simple common medical procedure led me down a path of addiction and a 168-month federal prison sentence.
  2. Shed light on the consequences of one's addiction in how it can affect every aspect of one's life.
  3. Educate others on recognizing the tell-tale signs and symptoms of addiction in fellow healthcare workers.
  4. Shed light on the various means available to offer help to those suffering from chemical dependency.

Clinical Faculty Instructor

NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine


Richard Morgan is a D.O. who graduated from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1998 and completed his residency in PM & R at NYU Medical Center in 2002.  A common dental procedure exposed Dr. Morgan to the world of opiates, which changed his life forever.  A series of bad choices and unfortunate circumstances fueled by his addiction led Dr. Morgan to a federal indictment and, ultimately, a 14-year federal prison sentence.  Dr. Morgan's remarkable story will show how this addiction evolved, the choice that led to incarceration, and the turnaround that had led him to become a full-time clinical instructor at his medical school where it all began.  He now spends his time not only educating the future doctors of America, but Dr. Morgan continues to share his story with the student population, as well as clinicians everywhere, in the hope to not only continue to bring awareness to the the "original" pandemic that has plagued our nation for the past twenty years, but to educate other healthcare personnel on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of addiction, and the resources available to help them.
