Free Buprenorphine Waiver Training Offered in Sullivan Co on May 6

Wednesday, March 8th, 2017

The NYSDOH, AIDS Institute is sponsoring a free buprenorphine waiver training for clinical providers in Monticello on Saturday, May 6, 2017 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Breakfast will be provided.

In response to the opioid overdose deaths in New York State, increased access to buprenorphine treatment for opioid overdose disorder is urgently needed. Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are welcome and highly encouraged to attend this training. Under current regulations, clinical providers are required to obtain a ‘waiver’ to prescribe buprenorphine. Physicians can acquire this waiver by attending and completing a standardized and required 8-hour training. This training is offered in a half-and-half format [4 hrs of online training followed up by 4 hrs of in-person training]. Upon completion, providers will meet the requirement of the DATA 2000 to be qualified to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid-dependent patients. NPs and PAs are required to complete an additional 16 hours of online training.

HVCS held its semi-annual staff meeting on December 6, 2015 at the Thayer Hotel. These day-long staff retreats allow us to honor each others’ accomplishments, receive training on important agency or topical matters, and do a little team bonding. Nearly every staff member attended, so we were able to take this wonderful shot of (almost) the entire team!

The day also included fun team building activities such as a “Heads Up”-style card game and a domino challenge.

HVCS’ Training Program to End March 31st

Tuesday, March 17th, 2015

While we’d much rather talk about new programs and services, sometimes we must share unfortunate news. As of March 31, 2015, HVCS will no longer offer trainings and webinars as a part of the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute HIV Training and Education Program.  It’s been a pleasure serving the Hudson Valley human service provider community and  everyone in the field of  HIV/STI and Viral Hepatitis case management and prevention.

Going forward, Cicatelli Associates, Inc., based in Manhattan, will provide New York State AIDS Institute trainings for this region.  Course listings and information can be found on The Department of Health website  www.hivtrainingny.org, at the Cicatelli Associates, Inc. website www.caiglobal.org , or by telephone at 212-594-7741.

As per our privacy policy, HVCS will not share trainees’ contact information with Cicatelli Associates, Inc., so we encourage those interested in future trainings to reach out to them.

We hope that those who joined us for trainings will continue to partner with and make referrals to HVCS’ array of programs and services as needed. Our staff are always ready to assist service providers and their clients and patients with any necessary services. Watch for future e-mail notifications about HVCS’ programs and special events; you may unsubscribe at any time.

Thanks to those who came to our trainings for being wonderful training center participants over the years, and we wish you all the best to you and the people you serve.
