Buprenorphine Boot Camp
Please join us for a Buprenorphine Boot Camp: Getting Your Clinic off the Ground virtual workshop this October! This training will serve as a deeper dive into the complexities of medication assisted treatment of opioid use disorders in the primary care setting. Intended for providers who hold a MAT Waiver, the workshop will detail the logistical, legal and prescribing challenges common to MAT, and practical tips to overcome these barriers.
Practice Gaps and Needs
Opioid use disorder can be challenging to treat in the primary care or office setting. The standards, methods and best practices in prescribing Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), in particular Buprenorphine, change regularly and healthcare teams require up to date information on these practices. Providers lack a clear understanding in how to offer MOUD, and fail to comprehend how to interpret urine toxicology screens. Additionally, providers expressed interest in more education related to the logistical challenges commonly encountered when treating patients with complex opioid use disorders.
Elements of Competence
This continuing education (CE) activity is designed to change learner competence and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialties areas of medical knowledge, professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, systems-based practice, and patient care and procedural skills. This activity also focuses on the interprofessional competencies of values/ethics for interprofessional practice and roles and responsibilities and Institute of Medicine competencies of providing patient-centered care and employment of evidence-based practice.
Intended Audience
This activity is designed to meet the needs of physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in Family & Community Medicine.
