Description of CME Course

Prescribing healthcare practitioners and patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) often have different perspectives. As a practitioner, you may face challenges in working with these patients. The patients themselves encounter barriers and difficulties associated with getting the treatments they need. By learning about and considering the characteristics and mindsets of patients with OUD, you can better understand your patients and better support them in finding appropriate treatment programs.
