The purpose of the Interprofessional OUD ECHO® program is to offer continued learning opportunities about the assessment and treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) for healthcare teams that are already prescribing buprenorphine to patients in Illinois. This sixth-month program will be led by an interprofessional team of subject matter experts (providers, social workers, nurses, and peer recovery coaches) who will help the healthcare team’s members better understand how to effectively work together to provide the highest quality of care to patients with OUD.
