An Innovative Approach to Delivering Health Care To People With Pain & Addiction
Who We Are
The AMN-P&A is a community of practice linking groups of primary health care providers (mentees) directly to a mentor (pain/addiction experts) to help manage individuals living with chronic pain and addiction.
Upcoming Events
Opioid Agonist Therapy Provider Forum
We are happy to announce Nova Scotia's first dedicated online forum for providers of opioid agonist therapy. This Forum is intended to provide a means by which OAT providers connect virtually to "crowd source" solutions, connect with colleagues to share expertise, experience, and give and receive support.
​
AMN-P&A Programming
​
Given the continued need to contain the spread of COVID-19 and your focus on critical work to support the health of our population, we will continue to defer all in-person programs at this time. Though it is difficult to predict how the situation will unfold over the weeks and months to come, we expect that in-person programs wouldn’t likely be appropriate or possible until at least this fall.
We are currently exploring options to provide support to the AMN-P&A membership in other ways. Please stay tuned
