Inside this resource
Science & Policy Developments in Addiction Medicine
The course identifies new developments affecting the science, policy, and clinical practice of addiction medicine, then has learners compare presented clinical guidelines and best practices against their own to identify strengths or gaps.
Research-to-Practice Applications for Pain & Addiction
Learners analyze new research and science to develop practical treatment applications, or further-research directions, for patients whose care falls somewhere between pain management and addiction treatment.
Policy Change & Professional Networking
The final segment explains recent or upcoming policy changes and where providers can get involved, and helps participants build a network of professionals and resources to support their ongoing practice.
Who this serves
- Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician associates — this is the course’s explicitly stated target audience for this advanced-level activity.
- Other clinicians on the care team — the course is designed for the full care team, not physicians alone.
- Providers pursuing ACGME competencies — the course addresses Patient Care, Medical Based Knowledge, and Practice-Based Learning competencies directly.
