AKH and VHWF were awarded an independent medical education (IME) grant by the Opioid Analgesic REMS Program Companies ("RPC") to educate prescribers and other healthcare providers about the treatment and monitoring of patients with pain. AKH and VHWF worked collaboratively with specialists in substance pharmacology and the assessment and management of substance use disorders from the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT). This education is compliant with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Opioid Analgesic Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) educational requirements. The goal of the Opioid Analgesic (OA) REMS is to reduce the risk of serious adverse outcomes from prescription opioid analgesics.
