Medication- Assisted Treatment Training:

“OSU Medicine is committed to expanding access to treatment for Oklahomans who suffer from opioid use disorders through physician training. As a land-grant university, we are here to serve our fellow Oklahomans in their time of need.” – Dr. Kayse Shrum, President, OSU Center for Health Sciences.

The purpose of this is to better prepare physicians and medical students to identify individuals with opioid use disorders and to engage those patients in medication-assisted treatment for their opioid use disorder.

  • Screen and identify patients with OUD and define evidence-based treatments.
  • Discuss the pharmacology of opioids as it relates to treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) patients.
  • Describe the fundamentals of office-based opioid treatment including the treatment of the co-morbid patient.
  • Explain the process of buprenorphine induction as well as stabilization and maintenance.
  • Discuss all FDA approved antagonist and agonist medications to treat OUD.
  • Discuss basic office protocols including medical record documentation and confidentially.
  • Utilize evidence-based resources to ensure providers have the confidence to prescribe buprenorphine for patients with OUD.
  • Recognize the importance of obtaining a waiver to begin treating patients with OUD.
