Opioid Use Disorder: The Nursing Perspective
We are so excited to announce the launch of a new learning module, created in collaboration with Bethel University, Opioid Use Disorder: The Nursing Perspective.
About the Course
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD): The Nursing Perspective is a 3 hour course that provides an in-depth education into the identification, assessment, management and support of patients with OUD. The course was created for nurses, nursing students, and health care professionals that are looking to learn more about OUD and care for those with OUD.
The goal of the course is to make vital education more available to those who have primary contact with individuals in need of treatment and in the early stages of recovery from OUD.
The course was made possible through Bethel University’s Physician Assistant program. Bethel students Jess Rombocos ’23, Caitlin Crowley ’23, and Casey Palmer ’23 worked under the supervision of faculty from the psychology and nursing departments. Crowley is hopeful that “the information presented in the curriculum will transform the way healthcare professionals interact and treat people impacted by addictions.” Read more from Bethel’s blog.
We are excited that this course has been included in Public Health coursework at Bethel University and we are hopeful it will expand into other health institutions.

This course has been designed to meet the Minnesota Board of Nursing continuing education requirements. However, the nurse is responsible for determining whether this activity meets the requirements for acceptable continuing education.
