PCSS Office-Based Treatment for Opioid Use Disorders Webinar (Nov 06, 2021)

PCSS Office-Based Treatment for Opioid Use Disorders Webinar is organized by American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine (AOAAM) and will be held on Nov 06, 2021.

Description:
Physicians are required to apply to the Drug Enforcement Agency for a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine, one of three medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of opioid use disorder. Those physicians who want to treat more than 30 patients at any one time, must take the 8-hour waiver course.

To treat more than 30 patients, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) (NP/CNM/CNS/CRNA) and Physician Assistants (PAs) must complete 24 hours of specialized training to prescribe buprenorphine. The training includes 8 hours of waiver training and an additional 16 hours of training.
