Title:
Initiating Medications for Opioid Use Disorder

Hospitalists regularly care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), as this is a vulnerable patient population that is overrepresented in the healthcare system. Hospitalizations are a reachable moment to offer treatment for OUD with mortality-reducing medication that has been associated with decreased readmissions. All hospitalists need to be able to diagnose and treat OUD. This four-hour training will be led by two experts in addiction medicine and hospital medicine and will equip you with the necessary skills to initiate medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) on your patients.
  • Screen and identify patients with OUD and define evidence-based treatments.
  • Discuss the pharmacology of opioids as it relates to treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) patients.
  • Describe the fundamentals of office-based opioid treatment including the treatment of the co-morbid patient.
  • Explain the process of buprenorphine induction as well as stabilization and maintenance.
  • Discuss all FDA approved antagonist and agonists medications to treat OUD. Utilize evidence-based resources to ensure providers have the confidence to prescribe buprenorphine your patients with OUD
