Target audience
Healthcare providers.
Purpose
The IMS Opioid Summit will give practical and productive response to Iowa’s rise in opioid use disorder.
MAT (Medical Assisted Treatment) Waiver Training will be provided by Alison Lynch, MD, University of Iowa. Shockingly few Iowa physicians have obtained a MAT waiver; increased training opportunities are a crucial step toward expanding patient access across the state.
Mornings sessions will include the 4 hour live required portion of MAT waiver training. Once participants complete this step they will be eligible to access the second, online portion of MAT. Corresponding this session will be CDC Prescribing Guidelines Training. Provided by Lee Kral, PharmD, BCBS, University of Iowa.
Afternoon sessions: National and local experts will convene to provide insights on techniques to combat Iowa’s opioid abuse disorder.
Professional Practice Gap
On July 1, 2018, a new law was passed that required all those prescribing opioids to complete training on the CDC guidelines. In addition, Iowa is seeing an uptick in the number of patients suffering from substance abuse disorder and physicians and non-physicians providers are equipped with the knowledge to proper treat these patients.

- Apply the guidelines in a practical way to a patient clinical scenario.
- Educate a patient regarding long-term opioid safety.
