Initially it appeared this epidemic was only impacting Caucasians however more recent research has shown that this crisis is in fact impacting already disproportionately impacted by a range of health disparities and the addition of an opioid dependence increases these risks.

After the X-Waiver: Implementation of an Curriculum on MOUD for Emergency Medicine Residents Presented by Dr. Aaron Krumheuer Link to Slides: https://cc2d878d-1279-40fa-8ecf-e295b2e38f8e.usrfiles.com/ugd/cc2d87_e3b31713244743f599c104fdcacb96cf.pdf As a point-of-entry for many people-who-use drugs, the emergency department (ED) is in a unique position to intervene in the course of opioid use disorder (OUD) -- yet there are still many missed opportunities. This presentation will cover the efforts of the University of Michigan Emergency Department to better care for patients who present with opioid-related harms. Since 2021, the X-Waiver is no longer mandated to prescribe medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), necessitating a re-evaluation of the educational needs of providers. Our group set out to create a novel curriculum for our resident physicians to teach the central tenets of harm reduction and MOUD. This was informed by a needs assessment as well as attitudes and opinions survey conducted at the beginning of the study period. With funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, we created a series of educational interventions to address knowledge gaps, stigma, and implicit biases within our physicians-in-training, with the goal of elevating the standard-of care in our department and providing evidence-based treatment for all our patients.

With overdose numbers on the rise due to the effects of COVID-19, linking people who use opioids to effective treatment modalities has become more critical than ever. Locally, our Emergency Departments have expanded options and access to medications to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD).
