Opioid Use Disorders in Adolescents

Fentanyl-era realities meet adolescent care in this on-demand course led by Dr. Lee Trope, who launched an inpatient buprenorphine induction pathway with outpatient linkage. You will review shifting drug-supply trends, describe youth overdose epidemiology, and understand how to apply evidence-based screening and treatment. We detail and evaluate overdose prevention and harm reduction so you can provide safer, more effective care.

Inpatient Management of Opioid Use Disorder

Eighty thousand opioid deaths demand action on the wards. Led by Addiction Medicine hospitalists, this on‑demand course shows you how to initiate buprenorphine confidently, including micro‑induction for fentanyl exposure; identify and manage precipitated withdrawal; screen for xylazine and apply harm reduction. You’ll synthesize protocols, refine dosing, and leave ready to design safer inpatient pathways and improve outcomes.

Acute Pain in Patients with Opioid Use Disorder: Leveling Up Analgesia While Dialing Down Risk

Bedside decisions shouldn’t trade relief for risk. In this on-demand course, clinicians describe the roles of buprenorphine and methadone, recognize openings to start MOUD during acute and acute-on-chronic pain in hospitalized patients with serious illness, and implement team-based plans with outpatient partners. We then apply palliative care communication to discuss comorbid pain and OUD, advancing safer analgesia and more dignified hospital care.

Inpatient Management of Alcohol Withdrawal and Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder

When withdrawal strikes on the ward, precision matters. Through a focused inpatient case, you'll recognize high-risk patients, describe withdrawal pathophysiology, and review benzodiazepines, phenobarbital, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine. Then discuss gabapentin/anticonvulsants, apply front-loading, symptom-triggered and fixed-schedule dosing, assess withdrawal scales, weigh IV vs oral thiamine, and evaluate AUD medications via the 2023 JAMA meta-analysis for safer care.

DEA Requirement - OUD and SUD Education

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recently announced updated rules for all registered clinicians. Starting June 27, 2023, clinicians applying or renewing their DEA registration will need to make a one-time attestation that they have attended at least eight hours of approved training. This will be due at the time of renewal, which will vary by clinician. As an accredited CME provider, the Society of Hospital Medicine has compiled a list of sessions that meet this requirement. By registering for thia free-to-member curriculum below, you will gain access to all sessions, including sessions otherwise only available through paid On Demand products.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Hospitalist Management of Opioid Use Disorder

U.S. drug-related overdose deaths continue rising, with more than 100,000 individuals dying in the 12-month period ending in April 2021. Amidst this, hospitalists must be first-line responders in being able to assess and diagnose opioid use disorder, while offering evidence-based treatment. Participants will leave this session empowered to provide life-saving treatment for hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder.

This session is moderated by Joseph Sweigart, MD, FHM, SFHM. Our panelists include Marlene Martin, MD and Susan Calcaterra, MD, MPH.

How to be a Hospitalist Opioid Use Disorder Champion: Improving the Quality of Care for Patients

The hospitalist role in providing effective care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) has never been more important. In this webinar, part one of two on the topic, members of the SHM SUD Special Interest Group will discuss the current state of addiction medicine and the roles that hospitalists can take within their practice to overcome barriers and improve the quality of care for their patients with opioid use disorder. Topics will include how to screen patients, building protocols and pathways for treatment, QI projects, orders for discharge, and linkage to care. Additionally, speakers will discuss how to acquire data on the issue and how to start building capacity within the hospitalist team.
