Activity Dates: 04/09/2024 - 04/09/2027
If you are a pharmacist, nurse practitioner, or other health care professional involved in the comprehensive medication management of individuals living with mental health and/or substance use disorders, we invite you to participate in this online course.
The morbidity and mortality risks of untreated opioid use disorder (OUD) continue to grow. Introduction of new substances (e.g. xylazine, fentanyl, kratom) into the supply chain complicates our traditional conceptualization of OUD management. Clinicians need to be aware of how often these substances may be used in their patient population, recognize their unique presentations, and effectively treat patients so they may achieve recovery. Participants will learn to provide education to patients and other healthcare professionals about the dangers of these substances and manage patients who use these products.
