Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine is hosting the American Society of Addiction Medicine’s ASAM Criteria training. In addition, two buprenorphine waiver medication-assisted treatment (MAT) training sessions will be held for health care providers who want to receive their Drug Enforcement Administration DEA-X license to treat opioid use disorder with buprenorphine.

The ASAM Criteria training is Oct. 18-19, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., in the Rathskeller Room at the Wright State University Student Union (3640 Colonel Glenn Hwy., Dayton, Ohio 45435). The training is free, and 13 continuing medical education (CME)/continuing education unit (CEU) credits will be given.

The two-day, application-focused training provides physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants with an in-depth look at the theoretical foundations of the ASAM Criteria. The criteria are the most widely used and comprehensive set of guidelines for placement, continued stay and transfer or discharge of patients with addiction and co-occurring conditions. The training offers participants opportunities for skill practice in assessment, engagement, treatment planning, continuing care and transfer or discharge.

These trainings are hosted by the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine Department of Family Medicine as part of a $100,000 grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant provides funding for MAT trainings and development of opioid use disorder treatment curriculum for medical students and residents.
