American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria One-Day Foundations Course (Dec 15, 2022)

American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria One-Day Foundations Course is organized by American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and will be held on Dec 15, 2022.

Description:
This 8-hour live virtual course covers a comprehensive suite of competency-based learning activities in a live interactive webinar delivery format that meets the learning needs of multiple audiences making use of the Criteria and results in the appropriate use of the Criteria in practice. This is a practical training designed to help develop patient-centered service plans and make objective decisions about patient admission, continuing care, and transfer/discharge for individuals with addictive, substance-related, and co-occurring conditions. 

The workshop content is based on information found in The ASAM Criteria: Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related, and Co-Occurring Conditions, Third Edition and incorporates an opportunity for participants to practice applying the information through case-based activities. Learners will have the opportunity to ask the presenter questions in real-time, participate in polling questions and break into small groups. 

The ASAM Criteria Course can also serve as a bridge to the implementation of a provider credentialing program. Providers who have completed ASAM-approved training can gain the initial skill set to deliver care in compliance with The ASAM Criteria.

The target audience for this beginner, intermediate, and the advanced course includes counselors, social workers, payers, administrators, and other clinical staff.

This course addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Medical Knowledge, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, and Systems-Based Practice.

Learning Objectives:
• Describe the underlying principles and concepts of the ASAM Criteria
