PCSS Clinical Roundtable & MAT Waiver Trainings Calendar

Upcoming Events:

PCSS-X is a free, six-session course that was created to give practitioners guidance on implementing medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) into your practice. The first live Zoom session is Thursday April 8 at 3:00 pm ET.

PCSS-X is intended for an interprofessional audience, and participants are welcome to attend whichever sessions are most relevant to their current situation. Please go here for a summary of each session. Prescribers with frontline experience prescribing medications for OUD and developing clinic workflows will be available during each session to answer participants’ questions and discuss real-world cases.

SESSION 2 – EXPLORE, PART 2

Thursday, April 22 AT 3:00 PM ET

Facilitator: Sherry Larkins, PhD, Director of International Programs and Research Sociologist, Integrated Substance Abuse Programs at the University of California, Los Angeles – Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior

Cost: No fee

Target Audience: Physicians, nurse practitioners or other advanced practice nurses, PAs, psychologists, social workers, clinical administrators and healthcare teams.

Credit Designations Available: AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, Nursing Contact Hours, AAPA Category 1 CME credit, SW CE credit, and Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credit.

Webinar Description: Once your clinical site leadership has demonstrated an interest in exploring buprenorphine or other pharmacotherapies as a treatment option for opioid use disorder (OUD) patients, you must determine how to best assess organizational needs in a number of key areas including screening and identification, clinical capacity, monitoring, referral, community engagement, and more. How do you ensure the broader clinical workforce is properly trained and confident in their ability to treat patients using pharmacotherapies, and ensure OUD patients have access to a continuum of treatment and care services? This session will review clinic-wide implementation of new medications, and address ways to engage, identify and motivate site champions to work toward the implementation and integration of this clinical service.

Educational Objectives:

Discuss the critical role of champions and how to strategically select champions and implementation team members
Prepare a site needs/asset assessment to identify facilitators and barriers to MOUD implementation
Review the training and certifications required for specific team members to implement MOUD
Illustrate skills to assess program readiness to implement MOUD and motivate healthcare teams toward adopting this evidenced-based practice
