Video Case Studies from NIAAA: Helping Patients Who Drink Too Much

Filed under: Net News , Psychiatry

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has just introduced an online course designed to better equip clinicians in diagnosis and treatment of patients with severe alcoholism. Those that complete the Helping Patients Who Drink Too Much course can obtain a whopping 1.5 hours of CME credits available through Medscape.

"The video scenarios demonstrate evidence-based techniques for assessing and managing at-risk drinking and alcohol use disorders," says NIAAA Director Ting-Kai Li, M.D. "We want to make these techniques widely available to clinicians so that more people with alcohol use problems will get the help they need." Called Video Case Studies: Helping Patients Who Drink Too Much, the program is available through the NIAAA website at www.niaaa.nih.gov/guide.
