- Conduct a comprehensive assessment of a patient for the suitability of OAT, including diagnosis for moderate-severe opioid use disorder.
- Initiate patient's treatment with methadone or buprenorphine-naloxone per clinical guideline
- Titrate methadone and buprenorphine-naloxone to a stable dose based on assessment of patient
- Manage OAT based on patient clinical stability during maintenance phase including: take-home doses, missed doses, and relapse events, in a manner that is safe for patient and the community
Delivery Method
The simulation learning comprises cases of patients; each includes simulated appointments in different points of time in their treatment. Each learner will have the opportunity to actively participate in three sessions of simulation and observe six other sessions, followed by debrief. The debriefs of the sessions will be led by facilitators and include trainees, peers and simulators.
