Hi Harshvi,

 

We are hosting an online OAT session. This session is free for learners. Could you please send this out to those on your mailing list? I put all of the information and the registration link for you below.

 

Opioid Agonist Therapy:

The Basics for Non-OAT Providers

 

Dr. Joanna Lynch CCFP (AM), FCFP

 

Dr. Lynch is a family doctor and addiction specialist. She is also the Director of the Northern Remote Family Medicine Program at the University of Manitoba. She works at Northern Connections Medical Centre, a primary care clinic in Winnipeg that offers services to displaced northern Manitoba residents as well as people living in the inner city. She does addiction medicine in Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Red Sucker Lake, and at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.  She is currently serving as the Past President of the Manitoba College of Family Physicians. 

 

This presentation will review the pharmacology of opioid agonist therapy briefly, review the ways in which OAT may affect other aspects of care of the patient, help participants identify patients who should be referred for consideration of OAT, review referral pathways and review pathways to OAT prescribing credentials.



Learning objectives:

Participants will understand the basics of opioid agonist therapy, to enable them to better support their patients with opioid use disorder.

Participants will learn how to identify a patient in their practice who may benefit from opioid agonist therapy.
