AXL: Advanced Opioid Use Disorder X-waiver Team Learning Collaborative - Long-Term OUD Medication Management

Dartmouth Health Continuing Education for Professionals Home, AXL: Advanced Opioid Use Disorder X-waiver Team Learning Collaborative - Long-Term OUD Medication Management, 9/1/2021 8:00:00 AM - 9/1/2024 9:00:00 AM, This series is designed to increase treatment capacity for opioid use disorders by training more prescribers to be able to treat substance or opioid use disorders.

Content includes:

• Demonstrate the importance of retention on MOUD
• Describe patient characteristics who are at risk for dropout
• Consider possible interventions to increase retention
• Review considerations in stopping MOUD
• Explain the RDD trial

Presenter
Dr. Matis Shulman is a clinician-scientist with a research focus on opioid use disorders clinical trials and the use of technology to enhance implementation, quality improvement and treatment delivery. He is currently a co-investigator on the leadership team of two large multi-site opioid use disorder treatment trials funded through the National Institute of Health HEAL initiative. The first considers interventions to improve retention on medications for opioid use disorder and tracks outcomes in individuals who chose to discontinue medications for opioid use disorder. The second trial tests the effectiveness and implementation of a rapid approach to detoxification for induction onto long acting injectable naltrexone.  

Along with his work in clinical research Dr Shulman is actively involved in efforts to increase awareness and treatment quality for substance use disorders. He frequently lectures for both lay and clinical audiences and is on the advisory board of the Communities Confronting Substance Abuse organization (CCSA). He facilitates the CCSA support group for individuals with loved ones and family members suffering from substance use disorders.

Learning Outcome(s)
Participants will be able to identify at least three evidence-based strategies that are designed to enhance the clinical team-based care of patients with substance or opioid use disorders treatment.
