SAMHSA's Provider Clinical Support System (PCSS) and the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) have teamed up to offer free medication-assisted treatment (MAT) training for eligible clinicians working to address the opioid epidemic.

This partnership aims to increase the number of waiver-certified clinicians in high-need areas such as hard-hit rural and underserved communities across the country.

Why should you complete MAT traiing and obtain a waiver:

• Be a part of the solution to our nation’s opioid epidemic.
• Help increase access to comprehensive SUD treatment in rural and underserved areas.
• Become a priority applicant for some NHSC loan repayment programs.
• Qualified disciplines can become eligible for the Loan Repayment Program Continuation Contract MAT Award Enhancement.
