Care Compass Network is sponsoring a FREE BUPRENORPHINE WAIVER
TRAINING FOR CLINICAL PROVIDERS. In response to the opioid overdose
deaths in New York State, increased access to BUPRENORPHINE TREATMENT
FOR OPIOID OVERDOSE DISORDER IS URGENTLY NEEDED. _Physicians, Nurse
Practitioners, Physician Assistants and Medical Residents are welcome

Under current regulations, authorized practitioners (MDs, DOs, NPs &

To acquire this waiver, physicians are required to complete a
standardized buprenorphine waiver 8-hour training. Nurse Practitioners
(NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) are required to complete the
standardized buprenorphine waiver 8-hour training as well as an
additional 16 hours of online training as established by the

license.
The BUPRENORPHINE WAIVER 8-hour TRAINING IS OFFERED IN A HALF-and-half
format [_4.5 hours of in-person training followed up by 3.5 hours of
