NCAP is Hard at Work Developing a Revamped 8-Hour Certificate Training Set to Launch in March of 2024!

Target Audience
Pharmacists

Description
The US is fraught with a crippling opioid epidemic stemming from decades of misguided approaches to addiction and over-zealous marketing and management of pain.  This certificate program addresses the prevention, treatment, and recovery of substance use disorders, conceptualizing addiction as a chronic brain disease affected by genetic, behavioral, cultural and socioeconomic factors. Pharmacists will develop tools to help treat opioid use disorder within their practice setting.

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to: 

  • Describe societal, cultural, behavioral, and economic factors that may lead to opioid use disorders (OUD). 
  • Describe pathophysiological brain changes that lead to OUD. 
  • Evaluate the role of the pharmacist in the prevention, treatment, and recovery of OUD across various healthcare settings. 
  • Devise pharmacist-led services for patients with OUD.
