Purpose
The Opioid Simulation is a tabletop simulation intended to provide health profession students and practicing healthcare professionals the opportunity to understand opioid use disorder as a chronic, relapsing disease for which there is treatment and recovery. There are 2.1 million people in the United States, age 12 and older, who are living with an opioid use disorder. This includes using prescription opioids, heroin, or both. The objective of this experiential learning tool is to give current and future healthcare professionals an opportunity to experience opioid use disorder and to increase empathy and decrease stigma associated with opioid use disorder.
Objectives
In the course of the simulation you will understand:
- Opioid use disorder is a chronic, relapsing disease for which there is treatment and recovery.
