Access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) remains a critical component of addressing the ongoing opioid crisis, and recent federal authorization now allows pharmacists to independently prescribe buprenorphine following appropriate training. This course reviews the regulatory changes, outlines clinical and operational considerations for pharmacist-led MOUD prescribing, and discusses the opportunities and responsibilities that accompany expanded prescriptive authority. You will gain practical insight into how integrating MOUD prescribing into pharmacy practice can improve treatment access while maintaining safe, evidence-based care.
