Opioid use disorder (OUD) is skyrocketing—and with that, resulting overdose mortality rates show no signs of slowing down.
The Opioid Use Disorder Livestream, set for Tuesday-Wednesday, May 25-26, is a new course from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) designed to help you help patients through this complex public health crisis.
- Toxicology interpretation
- Using telemedicine for OUD treatment
- Trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing
- Medications for opioid use disorder
- Working with other care providers.
The faculty—all family physicians—have treated patients from a range of demographic, socioeconomic, and geographic backgrounds. You’ll get the same in-person interactive experience of a live course through didactic presentations and case-based discussions with your fellow attendees.
Registration for this Livestream course includes Free SAMHSA DATA Waiver Training on Monday, May 24. DATA Waiver training is strongly recommended before taking this course.
Register by May 14 and save up to $100. Physicians in their first seven years of practice can save up to $150.
Additionally, the AAFP has a new extensive set of tools and resources for combating the opioid epidemic through its updated Chronic Pain Management Toolkit. This toolkit serves as one primary care solution to assist in the effective assessment, diagnosis, and management of chronic pain. It provides a brief overview of current evidence, along with useful tools and resources to manage chronic pain and related issues.
