The UNC SON ECHO for MOUD (Medications for Opioid Use Disorder) focuses on addiction & substance use disorders, behavioral health integration, and collaboration among peers for Medication for Opioid Use Disorder. It is ideally suited for clinicians and student clinicians interested in learning more about these topics and provides a forum for learning, discussion, and collegial support.

This ECHO is an initiative to improve the health of North Carolinians by identifying and overcoming barriers to medical providers and incorporating evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder into their practice. The project partners with diverse groups of primary and specialty care practices to help them build the internal expertise and capacity to provide office-based medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD).

To receive an invitation to ECHO, register for the ECHO for MOUD Listserv. The Listserv is used solely to send ECHO invitations and updates. 

UNC SON ECHO for MOUD occurs the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month from 12 – 1 PM EST
