Get Started

The pharmacist is a vital member of the healthcare team but is often underutilized. This brief, self-directed online course explores the contributions of the pharmacist and the supporting evidence and impact the pharmacist has on patient care. This course discusses strategies to bridge the gap between the pharmacist and other members of the healthcare team to ensure effective communication and collaboration that can mitigate diversion and misuse and promote effective opioid use disorder treatment.
