Inside this resource
OUD Diagnosis & Buprenorphine Initiation
Dr. Valerie Carrejo covers screening and diagnosing opioid use disorder, selecting the appropriate level of care, and initiating buprenorphine (traditional, micro-dosing, and macro-dosing) while managing precipitated withdrawal and chronic pain overlap.
Alcohol, Cannabis & Tobacco Treatment
Additional Carrejo sessions screen and treat alcohol use disorder with FDA-approved and off-label medications, cover marijuana use trends and use disorder, apply the new CDC opioid guideline in primary care, interpret urine drug screens, and address tobacco and vaping cessation.
Sports Medicine Exam Skills
Dr. Deepak Patel teaches a concussion update (assessment tools, return-to-learn/play, second-impact syndrome), sports medicine exam tips and tricks for hand and foot/ankle injuries, and evaluation and management of knee and shoulder pain.
Exercise Prescription & Tendinopathy
Patel also covers building an Exercise Rx using the FITT-PRO framework and the evidence-based treatment of tendinopathies, including indications and risks of injections.

- Physicians needing OUD/AUD screening and buprenorphine skills — dedicated sessions cover initiation, dosing, and withdrawal management.
- Sports medicine and orthopedic-adjacent primary care providers — concussion, knee, shoulder, and tendinopathy sessions target this audience.
