As we see the worsening and evolving nature of the overdose epidemic, it has become apparent that prescription opioids are no longer the primary contributor. Drugs such as Illicitly manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin are the primary drivers of the drug overdose epidemic. This physician toolkit gives Minnesota physicians resources and tools to help prevent overdoses and overdose deaths, identify, and treat substance use and substance use disorder, practice harm reduction, understand safer opioid prescribing, and learn about better care for pain. This class is designed for primary care physicians and specialty care physicians.

This webinar will focus on how to develop and implement plans for postvention, or what to do in the aftermath of a death by suicide. Our discussion will emphasize creating a plan, designating key tasks and assigning roles, how to effectively (and with less stigma) communicate about suicide, and how to transition from postvention back to prevention.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) which is a neurodegenerative disease. This diagnosis, which can only be made after death, is associated with brain changes that have mixed features of Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. While CTE is thought of as a condition associated with sports, other common causes include domestic abuse, falls, and motor vehicle accidents. The presenter will discuss the epidemiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI); cognitive, behavioral and mood symptoms which accompany TBI; and the course and outcomes of CTE.
