Buprenorphine waiver training is available for physicians interested in seeking their waiver to prescribe buprenorphine in the treatment of opioid use disorders. To obtain the waiver to prescribe, providers are required to take eight (8) hours of training.

Following training, physicians who have successfully completed the course may apply to the SAMHSA to obtain the waiver. PCSS-MAT urges all physicians who complete the course to submit a Notice of Intent Form to SAMHSA to obtain their waiver to prescribe. The waiver must be completed online and a link to the online form will be provided to participants following the training.

PCSS-MAT has a comprehensive library of materials available at no cost created to give physicians confidence in treating these complex patients. PCSS-MAT has a no-cost clinical coaching/mentoring program (http://pcssmat.org/mentoring/) to provide one-on-one expert help to primary care providers.
