PAEA is partnering with the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry and a coalition of national professional organizations in a grant funded by SAMHSA called the State Targeted Response Technical Assistance Consortium (STR-TA). PAEA as a partner organization will focus on assisting PA programs with incorporating medication-assisted treatment (MAT) waiver training into their curricula. PAEA’s vision is that all PA program graduates and faculty will be waiver eligible.

What is MAT?

MAT is the use of medications to treat persons with opiate use disorder. The three medications approved by the FDA for MAT are methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone.

Funding for this grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will help us assist programs with incorporating MAT training into PA programs’ curricula.

• PAs can apply for the DEA X-waiver to prescribe buprenorphine for MAT of opioid use disorder following completion of 24 hours of training by an approved organization.
• MAT waiver training is provided by these DATA 2000 approved sponsors:
  • American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP)
  • American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)
  • American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine (AOAAM)
  • American Psychiatric Association (APA)
• The American Academy of Physician Assistants approved MAT waiver training for 24 hours of category I CME credits.
