Continuing Education
Based in West Virginia, we have special affinity for rural health providers and collaborate with the Robert C. Byrd Center for Rural Health at Marshall University to provide training opportunities for rural providers as well as online video resources, like these:
Benzodiazepines: Part One
How Bad Things Happen with Good Prescriptions
This instructional video aids providers in how to safely and properly prescribe and de-prescribe benzodiazepines (BZDs). Part One of this two-part series helps providers recognize the pharmacologic properties of BZDs and operationalizes the principles of good BZD prescribing.
Benzodiazepines: Part Two
How Bad Things Happen with Good Prescriptions
This instructional video aids providers in how to safely and properly prescribe and de-prescribe benzodiazepines (BZDs). Part Two of this two-part series helps providers evaluate patients for evidence of misuse/excess use, develop de-prescribing strategies and formulate individual treatment plans for patients on BZDs.
These educational resources are provided through generous grants from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.
