AAAP’s “Half and Half” Course

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AAAP’s “Half and Half” course with
Dr. Richard Fein is a free American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry program that
combines 4.25 hours of face-to-face/in-class instruction and 3.75 hours of
online training. Those wishing to qualify for a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine
(Suboxone, Subutex) must complete both components of this program.
Training will focus
on clinical vignettes to help participants think through “real life”
experiences in opioid dependence treatment. The online modules provide a background on the
treatment of opioid dependence and substance use disorders. This program has
been approved for a maximum of 8 AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs. Note that NPs/PAs can take this 8 hour waiver
training and it will count towards their waiver application.
