Important note for clinicians who practice in New York: In order to fulfill educational requirements for the State of New York, after completing this core activity, you must also take an additional module: "Managing Pain and Opioid Use: An Educational Program on Compliance with New York State Prescribing Laws." In order to begin the New York-specific module, you'll need to submit a $25 payment.

Post-assessment survey and evaluation
Once you’ve listened to all six episodes, you can take the post-test. You will be able to receive your continuing education certificate by earning score of 70% or better on the post-test, and completing the online evaluation.

Follow-up online survey
There will also be an online follow-up survey distributed two months after completion of the program in order to further measure participants’ changes in knowledge and behavior.
