About the Program

The healthcare practitioner has a growing role to play in addressing alcohol use among their patients. The purpose of this eCourse is to improve your ability to define and identify risky levels and patterns of alcohol use in order to provide appropriate treatment for your patients. By incorporating screening assessments for alcohol use the practitioner will be able to recommend and deliver treatment accordingly.

Increasing the skill level of a wider range of clinicians, including primary care practitioners, to address risky alcohol use will lead to improvement in patients’ long-term health risks. By incorporating this important component of lifestyle medicine, clinicians will be more comfortable with providing interventions and referrals.
