Abstract
BackgroundProvider education for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) primarily relies on didactic instruction. Clinical simulation that enhances the ability of advanced practice nurses (APRNs) is needed to effectively and safely implement MAT. MethodWe developed and conducted a pilot study of a MAT clinical simulation designed to enhance patient safety and increase MAT competency. ResultsClinical simulation improved APRN preparedness to effectively implement MAT. In addition, students indicated increased self-efficacy and better understanding of patient safety. ConclusionsClinical simulation is an innovative way to teach APRN students to effectively implement buprenorphine treatment while ensuring patient safety.
