Needs Statement
The opioid use epidemic has been on the forefront of societal concerns in the US. There has been a push by the DEA and governmental agencies to expand access to Opioid use disorder (OUD) and other addictions. At the level of Baylor college of medicine, we have surveyed our emergency medicine colleagues, nursing and techs, and have noted a lack of comfort in recognizing and managing. Based on these gaps, this conference will target the educational gaps of diagnosing opioid use disorder and provide referral and treatment options within the Baylor, Harris Health, and the medical center.

Emergency Physicians, Emergency Medicine Trainees, Advanced Practitioners, Family Practitioners, OB/GYN Practitioners, Nurses, and Technicians in the Emergency Center

- Discuss options for referral and treatment on outpatient basis in the Baylor, Harris Health system and the medical center
- Describe the pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment options for opioid use disorder, including harm reduction measures
