Event Navigation
The CDC Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA)* presents...”Leveraging Existing Resources to Meet the Challenges Faced by People Who Use Drugs or Who Have Substance Use Disorders During the COVID-19 Pandemic”
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges in healthcare for those who may be at greater risk for adverse health outcomes such as people who use drugs or people who have a substance use disorder. To better facilitate provision of care, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has organized this COCA Call to help improve understanding among clinicians of the concerns of people who use drugs and people who have a substance use disorder. This COCA Call will feature speakers from CDC, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the American Society for Addiction Medicine (ASAM).
During this COCA Call, subject matter experts will highlight existing resources and exceptions for clinicians who prescribe medications for opioid use disorder, increase awareness of existing community-based linkage to care resources, and discuss the outpatient telemedicine experience from a front-line provider perspective.
If you are unable to attend the live COCA Call, the recording will be available for viewing on the COCA Call webpage a few hours after the live event ends.
The slide set will be available under “Call Materials” on the COCA Call webpage.
Free Continuing Education (CE) will be offered for this COCA Call.
