Description:

To prescribe buprenorphine, one of three medications approved by the FDA for the 
treatment of opioid use disorder, physicians are required to complete 8 hours of training in order to apply to the 
Drug Enforcement Agency for a waiver. 

This course will provide prescribers with the full 8 hours of required MAT training. 

Nurse Practitioners (NP), Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS), Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA), Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) and Physician Assistants (PA) are required to complete 24 hours of training including the 8 hour MAT training.
