Online Learning Modules

These online education modules are designed to provide pharmacists with more tools to effectively manage their patients on methadone maintenance. This series was created following recommendations stemming from the Methadone Task Force, which was published in 2006, which called for the creation of a methadone mentorship program for pharmacists. This series is being provided free of charge to pharmacists with funding from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.

Please note that this online education program does not replace the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) workshop or approved courses required by the Ontario College of Pharmacists.
