Michigan Opioid Partnership and CA Bridge developed the following training opportunities to help emergency medicine health care providers (DO, MD, NP, RN, and PA-C) navigate the process of implementing MOUD at their hospitals.
Some of the training sessions were originally hosted in the Spring and Summer of 2022. In December 2022, the X-waiver requirement, which is mentioned throughout the training videos, was eliminated. Up-to-date information on the elimination of the X-waiver requirement is available through SAMHSA and CA Bridge.
The MOP training sessions are available for free to all Michigan providers who are interested.
Nursing's Role in Treating Opioid Use Disorder
Nurses play a key role in supporting patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and implementing practices that support MOUD as a treatment option. In this training, we will focus on building an understanding of the basics of addiction, how to assess withdrawal, how medication helps treat OUD, and the positive benefits of harm reduction initiatives and recovery resources.
