+COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Patients with substance use disorders (SUD) represent an underserved demographic, often lacking access to qualified healthcare providers for their specialized needs. The recent removal of the X-waiver for buprenorphine prescribing in opioid use disorder (OUD) opens new avenues for medical practitioners to contribute to solving this crisis. Despite this regulatory easing, reluctance persists among providers largely due to gaps in knowledge surrounding buprenorphine’s pharmacology, prescribing guidelines, and management.
This course aims to bridge that knowledge gap by covering the fundamentals of buprenorphine prescribing and its outcomes. Using a blend of didactic instruction and case-based discussions, the course empowers healthcare professionals to confidently integrate buprenorphine into their practice, thereby expanding treatment access for this vulnerable patient population.
+LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, the participant will be able to:
-Identify the current gaps in care for the treatment of patients with opioid use disorder (OUD)
-Describe current treatment recommendations, including non-pharmacologic options, when treating patients with opioid use disorder, with a focus on buprenorphine prescribing
-Discuss pertinent monitoring and legal responsibilities for the use of buprenorphine therapy for patients with OUD
