Free waiver training opportunities offered

The Michigan Center for Clinical Systems Improvement, known as Mi-CCSI, is hosting the American Society of Addiction Medicine Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder course at three locations in Michigan in 2020. The training is provided by Mi-CCSI, the Michigan Opioid Collaborative and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

There are also two additional ASAM training sessions being offered by Blue Cross and the Michigan Opioid Collaborative, in conjunction with ASAM. Details are at the end of this article.

Each course will provide the required eight educational hours to obtain the medication-assisted treatment waiver to prescribe buprenorphine in an office setting for patients with opioid use disorder.
