Course Description:

This course will provide knowledge, skills and resources to raise awareness, increase understanding, and ultimately help to prevent non-medical use of opioids. This course will educate audiences, namely non-prescribing providers, about the opioid crisis and describe the innovative research being conducted at the University of Michigan that can transform clinical care and practice so that providers can have a direct impact on the epidemic. There are considerable education programs, including medical continuing education, focused towards prescribers and this educational offering will be focused to non-prescribing health and social care providers. The course will consider the opioid epidemic from several strategies including prevention, intervention, education, and policy. This open learning course is designed primarily for non-prescribing healthcare, behavioral health, and social services professionals, as well as health professional and graduate students in these fields. The course was developed by three University of Michigan programs, including the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI), OPEN (Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network) and the Injury Prevention Center.
