Free Harvard Medical School E-Courses on Opioid Addiction for Beginners to Healthcare Professionals
Opioid addiction is a major problem in the US.
In this way, Harvard Medical School (HMS) has introduced a new online course entitled OpioidX: The Opioid Crisis in America.
OpioidX is the first free, comprehensive educational programme on the opioid epidemic.
More specifically, it is designed to offer an evidence-based view of the opioid crisis and challenge preconceptions with the goal of reducing the stigma attached to opioid addiction, treatment and recovery . The emphasis is on ‘actionable knowledge’, such as how to prevent an opioid overdose death.
It is designed for all audiences as part of a broad commitment to providing accessible, e-based learning for everyone – from beginners to professionals. Upon completion, you will receive a verified certificate.
Other courses include HMX. This aims to communicate basic scientific knowledge to those interested in a career in healthcare. The HMS Global Academy, on the other hand, provides medical professionals with courses that vary widely by topic.
