Controlled Substance Prescribing and Drug Diversion Prevention: Expanded Version 3
3
Course release date: 7/10/2023
About the Course
Substance use disorders are a significant public health problem with a wide range of adverse effects on individuals' mental, physical, and social well-being. Mental health problems co-occurring with substance use disorders includes depressive, anxiety, and psychotic disorders, as well as organic brain syndromes (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013). Substance use disorders share many of the same features but differ in pharmacology and associated behaviors that account for the unique effects of each substance (Boland & Verduin, 2022). Alcohol, opioids, central nervous stimulants, cannabinoids, and tobacco describe the phenomenon associated with substance disorders. The hallmark of substance use disorders includes cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms which lead to intoxication, withdrawal, and dependence (APA, 2013). This complex phenomenon demonstrates impaired functioning regardless of presentation. Diagnosis is based on pathological patterns, but all substances activate the same brain reward pathway via dopaminergic neurotransmission (Paxos & Teter, 2019).

Recognizing and Mitigating Implicit Biases in Healthcare 2
Course release date: 9/26/2023
About the Course
Health disparities arise from various factors, and researchers have pinpointed unconscious biases that shape clinicians' perceptions, influencing decisions and exacerbating health inequalities. Implicit biases, usually negative and unintentional, result in disparities in patient–provider interactions, treatment choices, and overall healthcare access. The implementation of implicit bias training aims to underscore for healthcare providers a modifiable risk factor linked to the causation of health disparities.

Diets and Dietary Approaches to Weight Loss 4
Course release date: 8/1/2024
Course Overview
The most important consideration for a patient that is attempting to lose weight is the long-term sustainability of the diet for that specific individual. Although some of the diets discussed here might produce impressive results initially, extreme diets in any form do not usually work long-term. The most effective diets are those that people can live with day in and day out for the rest of their lives. This course will outline various approaches to diets and dietary modifications, with a focus on the impact of these approaches on weight.
