To help support busy ED care providers, the LOUD in the ED collaborative has developed preparatory online material with some of the foundations to providing quality care.

These materials have been developed to support foundational learning for providing OUD care in the ED. While all of the lectures below can be viewed independently, it is highly recommended that learners attend or watch a recording of the case-based webinars that coincide with the below topics. You can register to access recordings of the webinars.
