Free waiver training to provide medication-assisted treatment offered by Mi-CCSI
 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. Blue Cross is a member of Mi-CCSI.
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.
