The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute and the Institute for Family Health is offering free certification training for all primary care providers in NYS on Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Dependence on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010 at Casperkill Recreation Center, 2330 South Road (Rt. 9), Poughkeepsie, NY 12601. Registration preference will be given to physicians outside of New York City. The program, which is presented in collaboration with the American Psychiatric Association, is entitled, “Buprenorphine and Office-based Treatment of Opioid Dependence”.

It will offer 8.0 hours of Continuing Medical Education Credits for physicians. The program is recommended for physicians with experience and/or interest in treating opioid dependence. It is also recommended for psychiatric, primary care, HIV, pain, and addiction medicine physicians.

Salsitz, MD, FASAM, Medical Director, Office-based Opiod Therapy, Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Hospitaly; Susan Whitley, MD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Family and Social Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
