Ohio Alcohol and Substance Use (AUD/SUD) ECHO

The Ohio Alcohol and Substance Use Project ECHO (Ohio AUD/SUD ECHO) brings physicians, PAs, NPs, nurses, social workers, counselors and administrators together to learn and share knowledge about topics related to the identification and treatment of use disorders with a special focus on medication assisted treatment. This ECHO is intended for current and new MAT providers and those interested in learning more about alcohol and substance use from a provider perspective.

FREE continuing education is provided for doctors, nurses, counselors, social workers and chemical dependency counselors.

Submit a case or situation for discussion at a future ECHO. It’s the best way for all to learn and share knowledge!

Special thanks to the State of Ohio for providing funding to present the Ohio AUD/SUD ECHO. For more information, email SUDeducation@neomed.edu.

Sessions are presented most first and third Fridays from 7:00am – 8:00am EST. Check out the topics and schedule below.
