Opioid Stewardship® - A Certificate Program for Healthcare Professionals

Description

The Opioid Stewardship Certificate Program is a practice-based activity for clinicians impacted by the opioid crisis. The program emphasizes a health care team approach to foster the development of a strong knowledgebase regarding opioids, pain management, opioid use disorder and skills to impact the appropriate use of opioids in healthcare and our communities.

The Opioid Stewardship Certificate Program was developed through a partnership between ProCE and the University of Illinois College of Pharmacy with accreditation partners The University of Illinois College of Medicine and Wild Iris Medical Education. Expert faculty from around the country with various backgrounds have contributed to this comprehensive program, including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, dentists, counselors and professional associations.
