The Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act requires physicians, including residents and fellows, and other health care professionals who prescribe controlled substances, to complete a one-time training on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders.
The Oct. 10 training will cover opioid prescribing trends in Alabama, evidence-based prescribing practices, and ways to recognize signs of substance misuse. The event is designed for healthcare providers interested in expanding their knowledge and improving patient care.
Seats for the class are limited, and early registration is encouraged. To register or download the event brochure, visit: https://bit.ly/USAMATE25.
