Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder -University of Washington- Continuing Nursing Education (School of Nursing)- Thursday, May 25, 2023

Overview

This 8-hour virtual live course covers treating opioid use disorder by using interactive, case-based learning to teach evidence-based practices and also provides the education needed to prescribe buprenorphine.

Please Note: That recent legislation has removed the waiver requirement 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-level course includes: Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Certified Nurse Midwives, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Clinical Nurse Specialists who wish to prescribe buprenorphine in an office-based setting for opioid use disorder.

This activity addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Medical Knowledge.
