Session originally hosted May 2022.
This training, developed by the Michigan Opioid Partnership and CA Bridge, focuses on the data supporting medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), pharmacology, and the steps required to start someone on buprenorphine. Presenters Andy King, MD; Arianna Campbell, PA-C; and Nick Rademacher, MD will highlight how using buprenorphine to treat opioid use disorder is both safe and highly effective, and efforts to increase access to this highly effective therapy. By the end of the training, participants will be knowledgeable about prescribing buprenorphine. All emergency department (ED) clinicians will find this module helpful as a review of MOUD pharmacology and the principles of ED-based treatment.
At the conclusion of this training, learners should be able to:
✓ Define opioid use disorder as a medical and public health emergency
✓ Explain that medications are the most effective treatment for opioid use disorder
✓ Recall the pharmacology of buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone
✓ Apply the principles of precipitated withdrawal
✓ Demonstrate how to diagnose someone with opioid use disorder
✓ Summarize how to start someone on buprenorphine in the emergency department
