The opioid epidemic sweeping the United States requires that all health professionals understand the scope of this crisis and their roles within it. This session will focus specifically on Medication-Assisted Treatment, an evidence-based approach that saves lives and supports healthy long-term recovery from opioid use disorder.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

As a result of this experience students will:

• Describe the diagnostic indicators of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
• Identify the role of Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) in diagnosing OUD
• Define Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
• List the medications prescribed for OUD
• Demonstrate working knowledge of the essential team-based roles and responsibilities of physicians/ physician assistants, pharmacists, dentists and social workers in delivering effective MAT.

Light lunch will be served on Portland Campus.
This event will be Livestreamed to Biddeford Campus in the new space by the Ripich Commons cafeteria (Light snacks will be available).
