Recovery to Practice is pleased to introduce the on-demand continuing medical education (CME) series.
Clinical Decision Support for Prescribers Treating Individuals With Co-occurring Disorders
This two-course series offers information and resources for physicians, clinicians, and other practitioners serving individuals with serious mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders.
In this scenario-based series, participants meet “Nick,” a young father with many strengths who is challenged by both substance use and mental illness. The course explores the question: How do I approach Nick and help him meet his needs in ways that are both clinically sound and recovery focused?
The faculty are national experts in recovery, including psychiatrists, a psychologist, a social worker, a nurse, and peers. They offer tools, tips, and strategies for addressing Nick’s needs and those of other individuals facing similar challenges.
Watch one or both courses at your convenience!
Each course is approved for 1.5 AAFP (American Academy of Family Physicians) prescribed credits.
