Online Course
Overview
This 8-hour, online course provides the education that is essential for providers to identify, assess, diagnose, and manage pregnant and postpartum patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). The curriculum for this course has been specifically designed for women's healthcare providers. It covers all medications and treatments for OUD and provides the education needed to prescribe buprenorphine.

Some of the course content and descriptions refer to the waiver and we appreciate your patience as we work to update this content. To learn more about federal buprenorphine prescribing regulations, check out Policies Governing Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder.
The target audience for this introductory activity includes Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Certified Nurse Midwives seeking to treat opioid use disorder and prescribe buprenorphine in an office-based setting. All members of the healthcare team are encouraged to take the course.
