              Free Buprenorphine Waiver Trainings for Providers

              September 28, 2018

              The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is offering free Buprenorphine Waiver Trainings for physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

              The 8-hour trainings consist of 4 hours of online training followed by 4 hours of in-person training. The course fulfills the 8 hours of training required for physicians to apply for a waiver, and counts toward the 24 hours of training required for nurse practitioners and physician assistants to apply for a waiver. Any physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant can prescribe buprenorphine after obtaining a waiver.

              Dates and locations for the in-person trainings in October and November are listed below. Registration is required to attend a training. After registering, attendees will receive details about the online training that must be completed beforehand.

              How to Register

              Registration is free and required. Email buprenorphine@health.nyc.gov by the registration deadline with date you would like to attend and the following information:
