Date & Location
Thursday, August 2, 2018, 12:00 AM - Monday, August 2, 2021, 12:00 AM PST

Overview

Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine

This CME activity will enable doctors to recognize when risks of chronic opioid therapy outweigh benefits, and how to safely and compassionately taper patients off of chronic opioid therapy (including the use of buprenorphine to make this transition). A real life patient case scenario will be used to illustrate these principles in practice, including what to say to patients to communicate risks and provide support through the difficult period of withdrawal. When to refer for addiction treatment will also be discussed.

Intended Audience

This course is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians and nurses in primary care, family practice, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, psychiatry, addiction medicine, and interested Allied Health Professionals.


Registration
  • Release Date: August 2, 2018
  • Expiration Date: August 2, 2021
  • Estimated Time to Complete: 1.25 hours
  • CME Credits Offered: 1.25
  • Registration Fee: FREE

Credits
AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.25 hours), Non-Physician Participation Credit (1.25 hours)


Objectives
  1. Recognize when risks of chronic opioid therapy outweigh benefits and effectively communicate this information to patients.
  2. Employ language to prepare patients in advance for the opioid taper, and to provide emotional support in the midst of withdrawal.
  3. Integrate the key features of a successful outpatient taper off of chronic opioid therapy: go slowly, take breaks, never go backwards.
  4. Distinguish the signs and symptoms of opioid use disorder (addiction), and intervene with compassion when, in the process of a taper, an opioid use disorder comes to light.
  5. Counsel patients on non-opioid alternatives to chronic pain.
