CPNP is pleased to announce the development of 19 hours of recorded educational programming on opioid use disorder (OUD) and treatment. These activities are designed to meet the educational needs of pharmacists and other health care professionals who are able to contribute to managing the medication of patients with OUD.
Although access to single activities within the full educational program will be allowed, those completing all of the modules should be able to:
- Identify individuals at risk for opioid overdose and develop an appropriate treatment plan
- Screen and refer patients with opioid use disorder for treatment
- Develop an evidence-based treatment plan for medication assisted treatment
- Describe and implement harm reduction strategies for patients with opioid use disorder
- Assess, initiate, and modify opioid use disorder treatment planning using evidence-based recommendations
- Discuss the psychiatric and medical co-morbidities associated with opioid use disorder
- Apply regulatory and best practices to optimize care and safety for patients with opioid use disorder
A full listing of educational sessions and learning objectives under development is available here. A snapshot of the learning activities under development is provided below.
