2019 Opioid Academic Detailing Sessions
Maine Independent Clinical Information Service (MICIS)

Academic Detailing is peer-to-peer educational outreach which is designed to improve prescribing practices.  It is useful for improving quality of care and identifying priorities for change.

MICIS is scheduling individual 1-hour Academic Detailing sessions on these topics:

  • Treating Complex Patients with Chronic Pain Who Are Prescribed Opioids
  • Overview of Office-Based Buprenorphine Prescribing
Prescribers of opioids (physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants) and Medical Directors may request a 1-hour Academic Detailing session at their practice location.  This direct learning session can be scheduled for any time of day, and sessions can be scheduled on the same day for mutliple prescribers in the same or nearby practices.  The sessions are provided free of charge.

Visit www.micismaine.org for information on MICIS education outreach and academic detailing and to request an Academic Detailing session at your medical practice or hospital.

MICIS has provided evidence-based prescribing education since 2008, and is a program of the Maine Medical Association.
