This course uses a case-study to provide learners with information about discussing substance use disorder (SUD) with serious illness patients and their families; Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD); how to care for patients as their prognosis and symptoms change; and the role of harm reduction.

Note: This educational activity strives to support generally accepted hospice practices in place at the time of the course date, but it cannot supersede appropriate medical judgment nor proper regulations—each of which may vary with contextual considerations.
