Opioid Task Force
Announcing The ICHP Proposal For The Opioid Crisis Education Series

by Maggie DiMarco Allen, PhD; ICHP Director of Operations & Continuing Education Administrator

The ICHP Opioid Task Force (a subcommittee of the ICHP Educational Affairs Division) has submitted a proposal to the Illinois Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) for a grant to fund an in-depth education series in 2020 focusing on the Opioid Crisis. 

The CCDPH requested education programming proposals for various healthcare professionals and contacted ICHP on behalf of pharmacy. Content will cover four specific areas: PMPnow, stigma reduction, CDC safe prescribing guidelines and naloxone use per the CCDPH specifications. 

The proposed series will include live face to face, live webinars, home study webinars and KeePosted journal articles – all of which will include continuing education credit for Illinois pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The Task Force also recommended a series of educational podcasts for informational purposes. 

The CCDPH has expressed interest in our proposal and it is currently undergoing CCDPH Board review for confirmation.

ICHP and the Educational Affairs Division acknowledges with gratitude the hard work of the ICHP Opioid Task Force.
