The University at Buffalo’s Clinical Research Institute (CRIA) and the NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) are sponsoring a free buprenorphine waiver training for clinical health care providers.
It will be held at GCASA in Batavia from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 16.
The buprenorphine waiver eight-hour training is offered in a half-and-half format (4.5 hrs. of in-person training followed by 3.5 hrs. of online training).
Light refreshments will be served.
Participants will receive CME credits.
Physicians (MDs, DOs) need to complete the half-and-half course to apply for the waiver.
