Southwest Washington healthcare providers, including physicians, PAs, ARNPs and resident physicians, are invited to register for a no-cost Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) training course. The training is part of a regional effort to address the opioid crisis by certifying providers to prescribe buprenorphine, an evidence-based medication therapy for opioid use disorder.

This course allows providers to become waivered to prescribe Buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. After the four-hour live training, participants will receive a link for the online portion to complete and receive credit for the full course.

The event is presented by Southwest Accountable Community of Health (SWACH) in partnership with local opioid response champions and the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP), the data sponsor for this program. Your trainer is Dr. Melinda Landchild.

More info: The opioid epidemic is the worst man-made epidemic in human history. Over 47,000 people died from opioid overdose in 2017 alone and the trend has been climbing steadily for 20 years. Opioid overdose has passed car accidents and is now the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. The impact of opioid use disorder and opioid misuse reaches across sectors and has an impact on diverse systems and millions of people.

We have limited resources for compensation for those attending this meeting outside of a job role and off-the-clock. The purpose of these funds is to increase community engagement. If that describes you, please contact me and we may be able to arrange a stipend for your attendance.

The meeting will help answer questions such as

–How do we prevent opioid overdose?

— How can we support long term recovery?

— How do we further integrate treatment services?

— How can we support prevention efforts?
