Bill A.3414 is an act to amend the education law to require opioid training for medical professionals. If this bill were to become a law, medical professionals would have to complete two hours of continuing education courses on topics related to pain management and substance use disorders: prevention, screening, and signs of substance use disorders; appropriate responses to substance use disorders; techniques to prevent overdoses and spread of blood-borne diseases; pain management techniques; and harm reduction strategies. These two hours would be integrated into their profession’s existing continuing education requirements.
By supporting this bill, you are helping to provide medical professionals with proper training to reduce patient opioid abuse and reliance, combat the current opioid crisis within New York State, and reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorders.

The project has reached a critical level of visibility that puts us in a position to request formal meetings with members of the Assembly health committee. I am currently finalizing the briefing materials that outline the specific provisions of Bill A.3414 for these upcoming discussions.

Two hours is a start but we need to do way more than that honestly. Still good to see action though.
About time! Get this passed ASAP.
so happy to see this finally moving forward. thanks for the hard work everyone
LONG OVERDUE. NEED TO STOP THIS CRISIS!!!
Two hours of training in this topic is hardly enough. Why do schools need a law to add this to their curriculum?
Done!
Good work Delaney, God bless.
