Overview

Missouri is seeing increasing rates of substance use disorder among pregnant and postpartum people, which contributes to severe maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. While serving birthing people with SUD can be complex, the Missouri PQC is committed to providing opportunities for clinicians and community-based providers to increase Missouri's capacity to treat maternal-infant dyads affected by SUD. This one-day session will focus on increasing understanding and ability for buprenorphine initiation and titration techniques, as well as address the unique pain management considerations for pregnant and postpartum people with opioid use disorder. The Missouri PQC is bringing together all regions of the state — both in-person and virtually — to learn from experts and collaborate with regional partners on practical approaches to managing care for perinatal patients with an SUD.

Objectives

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

    • learn practical approaches to managing care for perinatal patients with SUDs
    • increase understanding and ability for buprenorphine initiation and titration techniques, as well as address the unique pain management considerations for pregnant and postpartum people with opioid use disorder
