Opioids and Overdose Resources

KPERF is proud to work with the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center on the CDC Overdose Data to Action Grant. Through this grant, KPERF pharmacists can help provide you with the information and resources needed to address the overdose crisis.

Webinar Series

Throughout the year, we will be hosting an online CE webinar series on topics relevant to the overdose crisis. These webinars will be accredited for Continuing Pharmacist Education by KPERF and for Continuing Medical Education and Continuing Nursing Education from the University of Louisville Continuing Education.

Academic Detailing

Academic detailing is described as an interactive education outreach to provide non-biased, evidence-based information on medications and therapuetic decisions. Each session is unique and focuses on topics relevant to your practice. You may request a free in-person or virtual academic detailing session to address any questions or issues you have involving opioids, medications for opioid use disorder, pain management, or harm reduction by sending an email.
