Session Description
You likely know that everyone with a DEA license can now prescribe buprenorphine. Which is an exciting opportunity for more of us to provide care to people with opioid use disorder (OUD). But, how do you actually initiate someone on buprenorphine? Is there anything special to do if the patient is pregnant, postpartum, going to the operating room, or is post--op? Attend this session and have prescribing of buprenorphine demystified. You will learn buprenorphine prescribing practices, how to overcome common challenges in buprenorphine initiations, and ways to discuss buprenorphine prescribing with your patients, partners, and practice management.
