Essentials in Buprenorphine Prescriptions
Learn essential techniques for prescribing buprenorphine in this comprehensive course, covering clinical guidelines, patient management, and regulatory requirements for effective treatment.
About this course
Patients with substance use disorders (SUD) represent an underserved demographic, often lacking access to qualified healthcare providers for their specialized needs. The recent removal of the X-waiver for buprenorphine prescribing in opioid use disorder (OUD) opens new avenues for medical practitioners to contribute to solving this crisis. Despite this regulatory easing, reluctance persists among providers largely due to gaps in knowledge surrounding buprenorphine's pharmacology, prescribing guidelines, and management.
This course aims to bridge that knowledge gap by covering the fundamentals of buprenorphine prescribing and its outcomes. Using a blend of didactic instruction and case-based discussions, the course empowers healthcare professionals to confidently integrate buprenorphine into their practice, thereby expanding treatment access for this vulnerable patient population.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
