Becoming Capable Providing Medication and Safe Supply for Opioid Use Disorder: Insights From a Qualitative Study of Nurse Practitioners in North American Primary Care Settings

Community Rounds Workshop Series session, “Becoming Capable Providing Medication and Safe Supply for Opioid Use Disorder: Insights From a Qualitative Study of Nurse Practitioners in North American Primary Care Settings.” Our speaker is Martha Whitfield, PhD, APRN, FNP-BC, Assistant Professor in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. This presentation describes a qualitative study exploring the experience of nurse practitioners (NPs) in primary care settings across New England and Ontario. Learn how NPs developed capability in prescribing medication and safe supply for opioid use disorder (MOUD/safe supply). Hear about how NPs are assuming leadership roles to enhance person-centered and harm-reduction focused care and consider the implications for MOUD/safe supply within rural and remote settings.
