The Greene County Health Department is sponsoring a free Buprenorphine Waiver Eligibility Training for Clinical Providers on Monday, October 28^th, 2019 from 4 – 9 pm at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Cairo. In response to opioid overdose deaths in New York State, increased access to buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder is urgently needed. Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Medical Residents, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Certified Nurse Midwifes are welcome to attend. Click here for more information and to register.

Additionally, you may participate in a web-based collaborative, hosted by Greene County Public Health, to help guide and support you and your practice with implementation of MAT. The learning collaborative sessions will be help monthly to engage providers in training, learning, and sharing of their own implementation and quality improvement plans. You will additionally have the opportunity to work one-on-one with Dr. Leslie Marino, a physician-scientist whose research is focused on the implementation of evidence-based practices for people with co-occurring disorders, involved in multiple training, research, and implementation efforts at the state and county level. The learning collaborative can be utilized by those that do not attend the waiver training, such as staff and administration. The learning collaborative will be 6 months long.
