Office-Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) Fellowship Program

New opportunity to participate in an expert-led, interactive training while continuing to practice

DMMA is offering specialized training to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to treat opioid use disorder through self-paced modules, live discussions, and facilitated webinars, through funding from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

This initiative will train prescribers and practice managers to prescribe buprenorphine to treat OUD in primary care and other outpatient settings. Click here to learn more about the use of buprenorphine as an effective and evidence-based treatment for OUD."
