The Record - Additional free waiver training opportunities offered

Additional free waiver training opportunities offered

We’ve added information on some new training sessions since we communicated about this topic in the January Record.

The Michigan Center for Clinical Systems Improvement, known as Mi-CCSI, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan are hosting the American Society of Addiction Medicine Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder course at various Michigan locations this year. 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.

The first two sessions, both hosted by Mi-CCSI, include a financial incentive. They’re flagged with two asterisks after the date and time, with an associated footnote at the bottom of the article.
