This postgraduate course is designed to introduce participants to Best Practices in the management of perinatal substance use disorders (SUD). Faculty will present key evidence-based and evidence-informed treatment considerations for management of various SUDs specifically in the context of pregnancy and postpartum, while also highlighting successful treatment models, and encouraging collaboration through the use of a multidisciplinary team-based approach to care. Course presentations will feature some of the most up-to-date data on perinatal OUD management through cross-country collaboratives led by the CDC as well as highlight the importance of addressing perinatal SUD from a quality improvement standpoint through CDC funded initiatives such as Maternal Mortality Review Committees and Perinatal Quality Collaboratives.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 introduced a new, one-time eight-hour training requirement for all Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)-registered practitioners. This course will focus on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders. By participating in this live course, learners are able to claim a maximum of 7 CME credits.
