The ASAM Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder Course is designed for:
Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who wish to obtain a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine in office-based treatment of opioid use disorders
Clinicians and health care team members working with physicians who prescribe buprenorphine in office-based treatment of opioid use disorders
The ASAM Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder Course provides the highest quality, evidence- based practices when using medications to treat opioid use disorders. Our case-based learning format will show you how to apply this new knowledge. You will learn how to:
Apply for a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine to patients with opioid use disorders.
Identify and assess patients who are appropriate for treatment with medications.
Have specific knowledge concerning the use of medications to manage opioid addicted patients.
Discuss the psychiatric and medical co- morbidities associated with opioid addiction.
The blended format combines 4 hours of self- paced online learning with 4 hours of live learning for a total of 8 hours. The online portion is expected to be completed first as it covers the essential knowledge content. The live portion will focus on the clinical application of the content covered online using case-based discussions. Upon registration, learners will be issued access to the online portion of the blended course through the ASAM e-Learning Center. Are you an NP or PA? ASAM also provides the additional 16 hours that are required for NPs and PAs to qualify for a waiver.
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians.
