SESSION TIME
This series has ended

The goal of Opioid, Addiction, & Pain (OAP) ECHO is to help providers manage patients with chronic pain and substance use disorders. There is an ever-growing need to address this public health crisis given the increasing rate of opioid use disorders and overdoses in local communities. This ECHO series will also encourage and assist providers in becoming buprenorphine waivered to better treat opioid use disorders in an outpatient setting.

Sessions will be held on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month from noon – 1pm MST and will be led by Dr. Paula Cook and Dr. Jill Sindt who specialize in addiction medicine and pain management, respectively.
