- Substance Use Disorders and Pain Management: MATE Act Training 8
Course release date: 5/1/2023
Course Overview
Substance use disorders continue to be an important health issue in the United States and can lead to significant problems in all aspects of a person's life. Appropriate assessment and management of substance use is a priority in patient care. In addition, the presence of substance use disorders can complicate the treatment or management of comorbid medical conditions. Given the ongoing prescription opioid (and illicitly manufactured fentanyl) use and overdose epidemic in the United States and the widespread incidence of chronic pain, opioid prescribing and optimum safe pain management is a public health concern. All clinicians should have good knowledge of the available options for substance use disorder treatment and for safe opioid prescribing and dispensing. - Understanding, Recognizing, and Mitigating Implicit Biases in Healthcare - Physicians 3
Release Date: 5/1/2023
Target Audience
This course is designed for physicians (MD/DO) and all other health care professionals.
About the Course
The purpose of this course is to meet mandatory implicit bias training standards. While the causes of health disparities are multifactorial, researchers have identified that unconscious biases affect clinicians’ perceptions of others, influencing decisions and actively contributing to health inequalities. Typically, implicit biases are negative and unintentionally lead to disparities in patient–provider interactions, treatment decisions, and overall access to care. The purpose of implementing implicit bias training is to emphasize to healthcare providers a modifiable risk known to play a role in the causation of health disparities.
