8-Hour Training Overview


The 8-Hour SUD 101 Training bundle consists of eight courses from the SUD 101 Core Curriculum, designed for physicians, nurse practitioners or advanced practice nurses, PAs, pharmacists, and the healthcare team. The courses aim to provide a strong foundation in current research, evidence-based practices, and available resources to enhance healthcare professionals' competence and confidence in caring for patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) across the continuum of care, with a particular focus on opioid use disorders (OUDs).

This 8-Hour SUD 101 Training bundle fulfills the DEA 8-hour training requirement, and each course offers its own CE certificate. CE credit must be claimed after completing each course by following the instructions at the end of the activity. After completing all 8 courses, participants will be able to download a final certificate confirming they have met the 8-hour DEA training requirement. 

The eight courses in the 8-Hour SUD 101 Training include:

  1. Overview of Substance Use Disorders 
  1. Patient-centered Care: Stigma and Advocacy 
  1. Screening, Assessment, and Treatment of Substance Use Disorders
  1. Medications for Opioid Use Disorder 
  1. Management of Opioid Use Disorder in Clinical Care
  1. Lab Testing in Assessment of Substance Use Disorders
  1. Management of Other Substance Use Co-Occurring with Opioid Use Disorder
  1. Life-Saving Overdose Prevention, Response, and Safety Planning

 

Upon completion of the 8 courses in this bundle, participants may also download an 8-Hour SUD Training Digital Badge. The badge confirms completion of at least 8 hours of training on substance use disorders and fulfills the 8-hour DEA training requirement. It can be shared on social media, added to email signatures, or included in online portfolios and resumes. A digital badge is not a certification, license, or formal credential. Instead, it is a shareable acknowledgment of training completion that allows you to document your participation and highlight your commitment to continuing education.
