The Nebraska Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (NEAAP) is recruiting healthcare professionals to be a part of the NEAAP Addiction Treatment in Pediatric Settings ECHO. This virtual ECHO education series serves as a forum for pediatric health care professionals to increase knowledge and capacity in regard to treating substance use disorders in the medical home setting, with a focus on opioid use disorder. Each one-hour ECHO session consists of a short lecture (approx. 20-25 minutes) followed by a case presentation (5 minutes) and discussion.
Participating providers gain access to up-to-date guidelines on addiction management and treatment, become part of a community of practice and learning, and are able to network with other care providers.
For Physicians
These sessions offer CME and MOC credit as well as apply to your required DEA education hours for the sessions in which you participate.
For Clinics & Divisions
A STIPEND is available to clinics and pediatric divisions in Nebraska who have at least one provider participate in a minimum of four of the Addiction Treatment in Pediatric Settings sessions and did not receive a stipend in the 2023 grant cycle.
