Each webinar is presented as a live four-hour activity via Zoom, which, when paired with the American Society of Addiction Medicine's (ASAM) four-hour on-demand course, will provide necessary education for participants to qualify for their buprenorphine x-waiver. Prior to the four-hour live course, participants will be provided instructions for completing the first four-hours of education online, after which they will attend the live four-hour activity via webinar. When done with both activities, participants will qualify to apply for their x-waiver. ASAM offers the additional 16 hours required for NPs, PAs, and other CNSs for no additional cost.
