Peer Support

Are you a Health Professional Who Would Like to Provide Peer Support?

Peer Supporters/Mentors will share their expertise with clinicians asking for support in their undertaking of safe and effective opioid prescribing. This application form should be completed by health professionals with expertise in the clinical use of opioid medications who are willing to answer questions/provide feedback to clinicians. Experts providing peer support can be from any healthcare profession. We will try to match Peer Supporters/Mentors with clinicians requesting an expert to whom they can pose questions related to opioid prescribing by profession or by expertise if specific expertise is requested.

Are you a Health Professional Seeking a Mentor?

The PCSS-O Peer Support System enlists clinical experts in the fields of addiction medicine/psychiatry and pain management to be mentors to health professionals seeking guidance in their clinical practice in prescribing opioid medications. This is not a program to offer medical advice about specific patients. Rather, this program is one in which experts offer general information to clinicians about evidence-based clinical practices in prescribing opioid medications. This Peer Support program is one component of a large program of education and mentoring services for prescribers of opioid medications in the United States.
