Course Goals
APA’s new online course, "Buprenorphine for Office-Based Treatment of Opioid-Dependent Patients," will prepare psychiatrists to treat patients addicted to opiates with buprenorphine in an office-based setting. By the end of the course, psychiatrists should
• have a greater understanding of office-based treatment with buprenorphine,
• be able to identify the clinically relevant pharmacological characteristics of buprenorphine,
• be able to determine whether the patient is an appropriate candidate for office-based treatment with buprenorphine,
• understand the treatment of patients with medical comorbidity,
• be able to develop a plan for treatment with buprenorphine,
• have a greater understanding of current laws protecting patients’ confidentiality, and
• be able to incorporate the principles taught in the buprenorphine course into clinical practice.
