About Dr. Nicholaus Christian
Nick is an internal medicine and addiction medicine clinician and researcher for the Office of Clinical Director for the NIDA Intramural Research Program. He completed his addiction medicine fellowship at the Yale Program in Addiction Medicine as well as postdoctoral research training through the Veterans Affairs Health Services Research and Development program. He completed internal medicine residency training at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin where he helped start the “B-Team,” a national model for expanding access to buprenorphine for hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder. Throughout residency he lived as a “missional” resident at Community First! Village, a master-planned community that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for people transitioning out of chronic homelessness where he has helped spearhead a community-based participatory research project to elevate the voice of his neighbors who use substances or are in recovery. His current clinical and research interests include improving care for people who use substances that are on the
continuum of experiencing homelessness to being stably housed.
