Benzodiazepine Tapering Considerations in General Medicine: Implementing The Joint Clinical Practice Guideline Course

The Benzodiazepine Tapering Considerations in General Medicine: Implementing The Joint Clinical Practice Guideline is a 4-hour course that translates the Joint Clinical Practice Guideline on Benzodiazepine Tapering into practical strategies for safer tapering. It equips clinicians with the knowledge and tools to implement evidence-based approaches across various patient populations and practice settings. Participants will understand the key principles of the guideline, learn how to conduct a risk-benefit assessment, and develop, monitor, and adjust individualized tapering plans using a patient-centered approach. Additionally, the course will explore tapering in complex populations, such as older adults and patients with opioid-treated chronic pain, co-occurring mental health conditions, and substance use disorders. The course includes interactive, case-based activities centered on real-world clinical scenarios to help learners practice guideline implementation across diverse populations. By the end of the course, participants will be better prepared to navigate the complexities of benzodiazepine tapering, increase patient engagement, improve patient safety, and reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.
