This two-hour, virtual course is designed to provide a history of the nurse care manager (NCM) model of office-based addiction treatment, explain how the model increases treatment access, and identify the roles of the nurse manager and interprofessional care team members to sustain the model. Participants will recognize the NCM as an advocate and a source of evidence-based treatment for teams and community partners. Participants will also develop an understanding of workflows to sustain the daily operations of the NCM model.
