Navigating the Social Security Disability (SSD) process requires mental health professionals to produce clinically accurate, functionally relevant, and legally aligned documentation yet many providers receive limited formal training in this area. Without a clear understanding of how psychiatric evidence intersects with disability law, mental health evaluations may fail to meet the evidentiary thresholds set by the Social Security Administration (SSA). This course addresses that gap by guiding participants through the SSAs five-step sequential evaluation process, clarifying the legal and clinical significance of medical evidence, and detailing how to write effective SSD mental health reports. Through instruction on documenting psychiatric impairments with behavioral data, standardized tools, and contextual work limitations, participants will gain strategies for enhancing report utility in disability determinations and appeals. The course also demystifies the post-submission review process, helping clinicians understand how their evaluations are interpreted and applied by adjudicators.

Implicit bias in communities and healthcare has been described as a fragmented area of research. There is a growing awareness of bias in healthcare and improved approaches to manage it with specific individuals and whole populations. By increasing awareness of implicit bias, racism, discrimination, and prejudice in a safe and supportive learning environment, health clinicians can learn and practice making conscious efforts to change by developing new approaches to understanding diversity in the patient population, avoiding patterns of preferential treatment and disregard of a patient based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, disability, sexual orientation or other characteristics.

This 1-hour credit course is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education and Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately 3.8 million people (1.4% of those ages 12 or older) reported misusing prescription pain relievers while another 329,000 people reported using heroin. Within the same year, 52,404 lethal overdoses took place, making drug overdose the leading cause of accidental death within the United States. Stancliff et al estimated that as of 2012, approximately 80% of people dependent on heroin or prescription opioids were not engaged in any treatment and many in treatment do not use the most effective medication-assisted treatments available to them. Despite recent increased awareness of opioid use disorder (OUD) and efforts to improve access to care, several barriers to treatment still exist, including financial, geographic, regulatory, and social. In 2012, only 2.2% of physicians in the United States obtained waivers to prescribe buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD. Of those who received waivers, 41.6% were psychiatrists. This may be perceived as a potential barrier to OUD treatment as patients are often resistant to referrals to psychiatric and/or addiction clinics given the stigmas commonly surrounding addiction and mental health. Furthermore, physicians with waivers were found to practice primarily in urban settings, leaving a large portion of the rural population without access to buprenorphine treatment. With all this in mind, education is needed in regards to current and emerging treatment options for OUD available to multiple patient populations. Also, with the deaths due to drug overdoses still elevated, education on how to recognize and reverse an opioid overdose is needed. This presentation will address the above needs by discussing the science behind opioid use disorder as well as reflect upon current statistics associated with its impact on the United States. During the discussion, opioid overdose risks will be discussed and participants will be able to practice recognizing key symptoms of an overdose situation. Steps of using naloxone will be discussed and connected to how to appropriately seek out treatment for maintenance of opioid use disorder. Finally, new buprenorphine products and the potential role of naltrexone will be applied to this stigmatized population. This self-paced course is available online through any device with internet access. There are unlimited test attempts and no time limit for completion.
