Description of CME Course

Michigan Sustained Patient-Centered Alcohol Related Care, or MI-SPARC, is a program that supports your practice in the implementation of evidence-based approaches to alcohol-related care. The training covers screening for unhealthy alcohol use, offering brief intervention, and engaging patients in shared decision-making regarding their treatment, including participating in counseling or taking medications that treat alcohol use disorder. Addressing alcohol use and the stigma associated, is important for the whole person integrated care. It is especially important during the ongoing pandemic, with its corresponding rise in stress, depression, and alcohol use. Our free, six-month program offers PI-CME/MOC part IV for participation.
