Overview / Abstract: |
Nonmedical use of opioids is a growing problem within the U.S. Pharmacists possess unique knowledge, skills, and responsibilities, which enables them to play a critical role in opioid abuse prevention, education, and assistance. The Buprenorphine/Naloxone Nonmedical Use and Diversion: The Role of the Pharmacist (KE-CN#PAIN105) course explores trends in opioid abuse, legal restrictions on opioid medications, and tips on identifying prescription fraud and red flags for diversion. Pharmacists who complete this training will have the knowledge and resources to identify signs of abuse and prevent opioid abuse.
