The Half and Half Course Agenda

Pdf Summary

This document is an overview of the PCSS Half and Half Course, which focuses on the office-based treatment for opioid use disorders. The course is divided into two parts, with Part 1 consisting of 4.25 hours of content. <br /><br />The course covers various topics related to the treatment of opioid use disorder with buprenorphine/naloxone. These topics include patient evaluation, clinical uses of buprenorphine, urine drug testing, and an overview of clinical tools. Each topic is allocated a specific amount of time, ranging from 0.25 to 0.75 hours.<br /><br />Throughout the course, there will be 10 interactive polling questions that randomly appear. These questions are not graded but are required for participation credit. They are designed to gauge the understanding of the material and ensure that participants are actively engaged in the presentation and case studies.<br /><br />It is important to note that the funding for this initiative was made possible, in part, by a grant from SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). The views expressed in conference materials or publications, as well as by speakers and moderators, do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services.
