The Impact of High Potency Synthetic Opioids on Pharmacotherapies for Opioid Use Disorder: A Scoping Review

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents a scoping review on the prevalence of high-potency synthetic opioids (HPSOs) in the nonmedical drug supply and their interactions with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUDs). The interactions between HPSOs and MOUDs are not yet well understood. This review examines the relationship between HPSO exposure and patient outcomes when using common MOUD treatment protocols. It also discusses the implications for clinical practice and suggests directions for future research based on the current research on patient populations impacted by HPSOs. The target audience for this intermediate continuing education activity includes: physicians, nurse practitioners, PAs, pharmacists and other clinicians, researchers, students, and policymakers. This activity addresses the following ACGME Core Competencies: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice.
