Two Indiana physicians were recently suspended by the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana. And scrutiny is increasing on the issue of treating chronic pain. If you have questions about opioids or concerns about controlled substance prescribing, the ISMA has help at your fingertips.

A live session, Responsible Pain Management Prescribing, held in December is now available online in three one-hour sessions that come with continuing medical education credit. The presenter is Scott Fishman, M.D., who really did write the book on this topic; it’s called “Responsible Opioid Prescribing™: A Clinician’s Guide.”

The webinar session will help you:

• Assess patients for opiod abuse
• Implement best practices for opioid prescribing

Cost is $149 for members and $229 for non-members. To register, visit the ISMA seminars page. You will then receive an email with instructions for accessing the webinar. Questions? Call the ISMA or send email to Erin Mays.
