As part of ongoing efforts to address the epidemic of opioid overdose deaths, New York State has established educational requirements to raise healthcare provider awareness of the risks associated with prescribing and taking opioid pain medications. This program fulfills the mandate by providing education about state and federal requirements for prescribing controlled substances; pain management; appropriate prescribing; managing acute pain; palliative medicine; prevention, screening and signs of addiction; responses to abuse and addiction; and end of life care.
