Wilkes-Barre City Council opposes Brown’s budget

WILKES-BARRE &mdash; Working the Luzerne County Medical Society, Wilkes University has created a new continuing education certificate program dubbed &ldquo;interprofessional Approach to Substance Use Disorder.&rdquo; The program will run entirely online from Jan. 7 to April 22 next year, and provide 15 continuing education hours for medical professionals and attorneys.
				The program is being offered at a &ldquo;discounted rate&rdquo; of $130, and that includes admission to the virtual Pain and Addiction Summit in April, which will feature &ldquo;Dr. Drew&rdquo; Pinsky.
				&ldquo;We are excited to offer this unique program to health and legal professionals,&rdquo; Program facilitator Thomas Franko said in a media release Thursday. Franko is also an associate professor of pharmacy practice at Wilkes. &rdquo; Not only will they earn a certificate, but also continuing education hours and free admission to the Pain and Addiction Summit for the first-year discounted rate. It is an amazing opportunity.&rdquo;
				Classes will include both live and recorded sessions covering three areas of focus: pain, addiction and legal/social interventions. Completion of the program can grant the continuing education credits to physicians, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, counselors, dentists, physical therapists and attorneys.
