In collaboration with Buckeye Health Plan and Ohio University, the Weitzman Institute is offering a third cohort of Weitzman ECHO Substance Use Disorders, a free continuing learning series. Over the course of 20 sessions and 10 months, the ECHO program connects primary care medical providers, behavioral health providers, and other care team members to a community of peers and subject-matter experts from across Ohio to address patients’ health needs related to substance use disorders. At each session, the multidisciplinary ECHO faculty will present on high-value topics to build foundational SUD knowledge, expand clinical competence around medication management and enhance care of co-occurring psychiatric and medical conditions. Participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss cases with the faculty and their peers.

SUD Care Strategies— A Foundation for Primary Care: includes topics like harm reduction, the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) approach, and trauma-informed care
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): includes topics like medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), alcohol use disorders and urine drug screening
SUD Comorbidities: includes topics like polysubstance use, HIV and HCV, and adolescent care
