Substance Use Disorders Management Boot Camp 2025 (September - November 2025)
Overview
This training aims to enhance confidence and competencies related to the management of substance use disorders in general medical settings. Through case-based and interactive didactic content, the workshop will explore issues related to assessment, monitoring, prevention, and management in the setting of unhealthy substance use.
Intended Audience
This program is designed for physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, students, residents, and fellows who treat patients with opioid use disorder.
Learning Objectives
As a result of participating in this activity, learners, as members of the healthcare team, will be able to:
- Determine accurate diagnosis and initiate treatment for opioid use disorder, alcohol withdrawal, and alcohol use disorder
- Demonstrate medical management and brief counseling skills needed to to work with patients who continue to use drugs and alcohol while in treatment for use disorder
- Determine appropriate treatment plan for OUD and AUD, including the initiation and maintenance of buprenorphine therapy, alcohol withdrawal management, and MAUD.
- Develop approaches to working with and managing patients with stimulant use disorders and/or Hepatitis C.
Elements of Competence
This educational activity is designed to change learner competence and focuses on the following competencies:
- Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)/Nursing: Patient care and procedural skills, medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, and professionalism.
- National Academy of Medicine (NAM)/Nursing: Provide patient/person-centered care, employ evidence-based practice, population health
- Interprofessional Education Collaborative Competencies: Values/ethics for interprofessional practice, roles and responsibilities, communication, and teams and teamwork

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.
