The Collaborative Mentorship Networks for Chronic Pain and Addiction is travelling across the province to offer family physicians and their teams a fantastic learning opportunity. After this free 3-hour workshop, you can immediately apply the following in your practice (with confidence):
- identify patients with, or at risk of, Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
- engage in a conversation with your patients about OUD and treatment options
- initiate Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) like buprenorphine/naloxone (and know what to do if/when it goes wrong)
- prepare for and respond to relapse
This Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Alberta Chapter for up to 3 Mainpro+ credits.

Hi,
Where would the Edmonton workshop be held? Is the workshop open to pharmacists without a PCN?
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your question about the OUD Training. I wanted to confirm that the Edmonton workshop will be at the Doubletree by Hilton West Edmonton and it is open to all community pharmacists. You do not have to be connected to a PCN. If you are not connected to a PCN just list none or n/a in the PCN field on the registration form.
Is this event open to medical students in clerkship (years 3 and 4)?
Hi Brenden,
