This 2-hour online course offers a streamlined alternative to traditional 8-hour buprenorphine training, providing a fast and efficient way to equip prescribers with the knowledge needed to effectively treat patients with opioid use disorder.

This one-hour, journal article-based activity examines liver injury associated with kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) use. Learners will explore the clinical presentation and patterns of reported liver injury, including changes in liver enzymes and function, and outcomes following cessation of kratom use. The article also examines challenges in assessing the relationship between kratom exposure and liver injury, including variability in exposure reporting, concomitant substance use, and limitations in the available evidence.

This one-hour, journal article-based activity examines factors associated with fentanyl co-involvement in deaths attributed to stimulant poisoning. Learners will explore differences between fentanyl-stimulant and stimulant-no-opioid deaths, including demographic, clinical, and substance-use-related factors associated with fentanyl co-involvement. The article also examines the implications of these findings for identifying opportunities to tailor overdose prevention and other risk-reduction strategies for people who use stimulants and opioids.

This one-hour, journal article-based activity examines associations between social-environmental vulnerability (SEV), healthcare service presence, and opioid overdose rate acceleration across rural and urban communities in the United States. Learners will explore how vulnerability and geographic context are associated with differences in overdose trends and examine the relationship between the presence of opioid treatment programs (OTPs) and primary care providers (PCPs) services and overdose rate acceleration. The article also considers how healthcare service presence in high-vulnerability communities may inform strategies to address geographic and social disparities in opioid overdose outcomes.
