The Alabama Health Professionals' Opioid and Pain Management Education (ALAHOPE) platform is live at alahope.org.

ALAHOPE is a product of the Prescribers and Dispensers Committee of the Alabama Opioid Overdose and Addiction Council. This work has been a collaboration of the Jefferson County Department of Health, the Department of Health Services Administration at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Health Professions, the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, and multiple subject matter experts from across the state of Alabama. The target populations for this curriculum are health professions students at the undergraduate or graduate level and practicing healthcare professionals.

Free continuing education credit is offered for physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and social workers. This content meets the new educational requirements of DEA-registered practitioners. See the MATE Training Letter for more information.
