IPHI and CDPH present Meeting the Opioid Challenge in the ED: A Webinar Series
IPHI and CDPH are presenting a webinar series, Meeting the Opioid Challenge in the ED, this summer. As of January 2023 clinicians no longer require a special waiver, commonly known as the X waiver, to prescribe buprenorphine. The purpose of the removal of the X waiver was to expand care to patient’s suffering from opioid use disorder (OUD). However, there remains a significant gap in knowledge about treatment as well as a reluctance to engage with people with OUD. These trainings aim to close that gap for medical professionals and believe this will be of significant value for your ED as they begin to treat patients with OUD. Participants will also receive one (1) credit toward the DEA requirement for each session attended. Learn more here about the webinar series and sign up here.
