About e-Course on the ASAM Criteria 3rd Edition
Approved for up to 20 CEU's by NAADAC, the National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors
The e-Course on the ASAM Criteria 3rd Edition is an effective adult learning solution that leverages the advantages of web based training, while incorporating the content and methods of a successful onsite curriculum developed to teach participants how to make more informed and accurate level of care decisions, and to write clear, concise clinical justifications for them.
The course addresses the Continuum of Care, the Criteria, Dimension risk Ratings, the Assessment Considerations for each of ASAM's Six Dimensions and how to write clinical justifications for Dimension Risk Ratings, and the Level of Care Recommendation. However, substantially more time and modules are focused on understanding the "Assessment Considerations" for ASAM's Six Dimensions, and identifying the corresponding clinical information collected with assessment tools such as the Addiction severity Index (ASI) that inform / influence the assessment considerations and risk ratings for the dimensions.
The course is comprehensive and provides more content, details, and exercises than is possible during standard one and two day workshops. The course includes pre and post course learning measures, and support materials that can be downloaded. Upon successful completion of the post course learning measure users receive written performance feedback from Dr. Coyne, as well as an opportunity to discuss the feedback with him.
The e-Course on the ASAM Criteria 3rd Edition is standardized, evidence based, easily accessible, cost effective and designed to increase learning, and support the transfer of learning back to the workplace. The design and functionality of the course enables learners to create a self-directed and self-paced learning experience that best meets their individual learning style, and needs in a way that traditional one and two day on-site workshops does not.
The course incorporates evidence-based adult learning principles, practices and interventions proven to increase learning and support the transfer of learning back to the workplace.
Individuals and organizations can purchase either three or six month subscriptions, however, the course is expected to be completed within the first 30 days of the subscription.
