We are producing and releasing 4 special podcast interviews this month dedicated to responsible opioid prescribing. We are doing this largely as a response to the ongoing opioid epidemic in the U.S. and around the world. In Special Podcasts 3 and 4, Dr. Andy Southerland interviews Dr. Gary Franklin from the University of Washington. Many state boards in the U.S. are now requiring a few hours of CME for responsible opioid prescribing practices, and these podcasts may be eligible for a total 2 hours of Category 1 CME, however please check with your individual U.S. state Board of Medicine mandates. Regardless of CME, we felt these topics deserved covering and we hope you check out all four episodes and find them helpful and informative.
