Home Study Webinar
$20 Activity Fee – available through August 31, 2022
Despite various efforts to tackle the opioid epidemic, it rages on and continues to claim lives. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine has proven to be life-saving; however, many patients encounter difficulty and are stigmatized when attempting to find treatment. Pharmacists are the most accessible health care practitioners who can help lead the charge and provide MAT to patients through various means. Attendees will learn from pharmacy regulators and other experts how pharmacists on the front lines can provide MAT through collaborative practice and emergency use authorization to help patients suffering from opioid use disorder (OUD) and address the opioid epidemic.
