Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) Liver Disease and Hepatitis program jointly hosted a two-day Fairbanks based Opioid Use Disorder Training in April.
The Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) Syndemic Training seminar offered attendees Continuing Medication Education/Continuing Education Unit accreditation through the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC). The training approached substance use disorder (SUD) from a syndrome aspect, including clinical education on SUD, Hepatitis C, HIV, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), as well as stigma and harm reduction.
“The program received overwhelming staff support and positive feedback,” says Dr. Gayle Hornberger, TCC Physician and Primary Care Medical Director, who helped facilitate the training. “The plan is to build on the education received and begin to gradually incorporate MOUD into the Primary Care model.”
TCC is proud to partner with other organizations within the medical community to bring the highest level of care and compassion to our patients!
