Description of CME Course
Alcohol use disorders afflict 20 percent or more of adults and lead to tragic family and social problems, injuries and death. Most clinicians feel inadequately prepared to interact with affected patients, and many express feelings of dismay at having to do so. Screening and assessment improves detection, and counseling improves patient health and clinician satisfaction with their encounters. This module uses evidence based behavior change strategies, to help learners move from common feelings of dismay and begin to celebrate the successes they will foster after study and skills practice.
Diplomate Engagement
Self-assessment questions tailored to each specific module topic are required upon module completion. Multiple choice questions required; open-ended discussion questions are optional.
