    Online CME

    This free-for-members CME meets the DEA-mandated eight hours of Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act. Read more about MATE: New DEA training requirement: who has to do it, and how to get it done.

    More than 48 million Americans struggle with substance use disorder, and three out of every four do not receive the treatment they need.* Chances are, a portion of your patient base needs your help. 

    Learn the most up-to-date practices that help create a non-stigmatizing, trauma-informed approach to treatment and recovery. Put your learning to the test with new immersive technology that simulates a real patient interaction.

    You’ll explore:

    • Motivational interviewing skills
    • Evidence-based principles that help you evaluate and treat patients with SUDs
    • Patient-centered approaches with a focus on destigmatizing language 
    • Harm-reduction philosophy to caring for patients and communities
