Title
The Opioids Clinical Primer: Design, Development, Delivery and Evaluation of an Open Access, Online Continuing Medical Education Curriculum
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
As part of Ontario's Opioid Strategy there was a need to expand education for healthcare providers who prescribe opioids. Our objective was to design, develop, and implement six accredited online courses for health care providers on a range of topics related to opioids.
Summary of the Innovation
Based on a needs assessment and feedback from a steering committee and expert advisory group, the six online courses related to both opioid use disorder and managing chronic pain were designed, developed, and implemented on the machealth platform (opioids.machealth.ca). Our project management method was based on the Successive Approximation Model (SAM). Subject matter experts and community practitioners provided feedback in an iterative process with regard to the design, development and evaluation of the courses and associated resources. Best-evidence principles of multimedia instructional design were utilized, such as interactive case-based scenarios. Each course is self-contained, but thematically linked to the others. In total the courses are certified for 10 credits.
Conclusion
As of Sept 2020, there have been over 1,765 program registrations, with over 1,220 course completions. Over 96% of learners who completed a course agreed that the learning experience was valuable, with 94% agreeing they would recommend the course to a colleague. 85% agreed that the courses helped them identify changes they would like to make in their current practice. The companion resource 'Buprenorphine Reference Guide' has been downloaded over 1,660 times. The courses are being used by a range of learners, including CME/CPD, PG and UGMD; and easily integrated into academic curricula and hospital training. Updates and dissemination are ongoing.
