«Education has the potential to both reduce overprescribing and ensure that
patients in need retain access to opioids,» explained Alford, who is also medical director of Boston Medical Center's Office - based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) program.

in ensuring all nurses
retained these vital skills for the safety and comfort of future
patients.
