Managing Opioid Risk on the Front Lines: Focus on Active Military Service Members and Veterans – Basic Training (in Pain Management)

The Managing Opioid Risk on the Front Lines: Focus on Active Military Service Members and Veterans initiative will be designed to reach health care professionals (HCPs) involved in the management of patients with pain and licensed to practice in the United States and its territories—particularly those professionals with a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) registration to prescribe Schedule II and III drugs. This includes, but is not limited to, physicians in the primary care (including OB/GYNs), pain management, anesthesiology, oncology/hematology, surgery, neurology, psychiatry, and emergency department settings; advanced practitioners, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants; clinicians working with underserved high-risk populations, such as military veterans; and, members of nonprescriber disciplines involved in the management of pain, such as pharmacists and nurses. All participants will be identified and tracked as either having a DEA registration for prescribing Schedule II and III drugs or not having a registration.

Target Audience

This initiative is designed to educate health care providers involved in the management of patients with pain, including but not limited to physicians in primary care, pain management, anesthesiology, surgery, oncology, hematology-oncology, emergency medicine, and psychiatry; physicians who treat high-risk populations, such as veterans and active service members; advanced practitioners, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses; and pharmacists.
