Online Opioid Self-Assessment Program

We are offering an Online Opioid Self-Assessment Program (SAP) to help participants identify areas where improvement is required. This program’s target population is physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, medical educators and medical residents. The ultimate goal is to close the gap between knowledge and action with regards to the use of opioids for chronic non-cancer pain. The 2017 Canadian Opioid Guideline recommendations were developed to help physicians make appropriate decisions to start a trial of opioid therapy for CNCP and to guide them in the monitoring of long-term opioid therapy, the detection of situations involving misuse, including addiction, and the appropriate response to such situations. The content of the educational program will be primarily based on the 2017 Canadian Opioid Guideline.
