Learning Objectives
Attendees should be able to:
  1. Describe the evidence and support for initiation of treatment for opioid use disorder in the emergency department. 
  2. Characterize the barriers and facilitators of initiating buprenorphine in the emergency department.
  3. Identify strategies to implement harm reduction initiatives such as naloxone dispensing and prescribing.

Participants attending this webinar will have increased knowledge and competence in starting buprenorphine in individuals using IMF which will improve outcomes in those who have OUD.  Participants will complete a survey at the end of the webinar to assess if learning objectives were met and if they will incorporate concepts detailed in this webinar into their practice.
