The Learning Objectives and Assessment Procedures are intended to facilitate the implementation of safe and effective treatment, using pharmacotherapies, for opioid dependence. They can be used to assist in the design of curricula and course content, in summative assessment (e.g. as part of a process of authorisation to use methadone and buprenorphine treatment for opioid dependence) or in formative assessment (e.g. providing feedback to build knowledge and skills). Summative assessment is directly associated with authorisation processes for engaging in treatment using methadone and buprenorphine. It is not a requirement for treatment using naltrexone.
