8 Hour Live Course for Buprenorphine Waiver Training

Monday, January 27th, 7:30 AM-5:00 PM

MMC Dana 9

The IMAT Team is offering training for those interested in seeking their waiver to prescribe buprenorphine in the treatment of opioid use disorder. To obtain the waiver to prescribe, physicians are required to take 8 hours of training.  NPs and PAs can also take this course and receive credit for 8 hours.  This will then apply to their 24 hour training requirement.

The free course is open to attending physicians, residents, fellows and APPs.  The training does not expire, so residents can wait to submit an application for a buprenorphine waiver once they have an active DEA license.

To register, please contact:  Cheryl Harris @ charris@mainehealth.org.  Any questions regarding course content or waiver application, please contact Kristen Silvia MD @ silvik@mmc.org.
