Physician Comment about our Training Program: I was looking for a convenient, comprehensive way of learning how to provide Suboxone treatment to my patients and satisfying the requirements for obtaining a waiver. This course was well-organized, the format of modular components made it very easy to complete over the course of several days despite my busy schedule, and the supporting documentation will be very helpful. I highly recommend it. -BupPractice user (7/22/12)
