SABER Invites Healthcare Providers to Join a Free Online CME on Kratom
The Scientific Association of Botanical Education and Research (SABER) is thrilled to announce an upcoming opportunity for healthcare providers: a free online Continuing Medical Education (CME) event focused on kratom. This informative event, taking place on January 31, 2025, is hosted by Tulane University and aims to fill the knowledge gap surrounding this botanical substance.
Understanding the Growing Interest in Kratom
In recent years, kratom has attracted attention for its potential role in pain management and energy enhancement. Despite its increasing popularity, many healthcare providers remain uninformed about kratom and other botanicals. This lack of knowledge can hinder patient care, as providers may feel unprepared to respond to inquiries regarding these supplements. SABER recognizes the urgency to elevate the understanding of such health-related topics.
A Call to Action for Healthcare Professionals
Dr. Mary Hardy, chair of SABER's steering committee, emphasizes the essential nature of this educational initiative. “While we are not organizing the event, we encourage healthcare professionals to take part in this critical dialogue that affects patient safety and health outcomes,” she stated. This event is a unique chance for healthcare providers to broaden their expertise in the area of botanicals and supplements—a growing field in holistic healthcare.
Details of the CME Event
This webinar will cover multiple vital aspects concerning kratom:
- - Scientific Insights: Attendees will receive a thorough analysis of the latest research on kratom's pharmacological properties and therapeutic uses.
- - Safety Guidelines: Given the unregulated nature of the kratom market, the event will provide safety information to help healthcare providers assure patient safety while navigating these waters.
- - Practical Applications: The CME will offer strategies for effective discussions with patients about kratom and other botanicals, promoting informed choices regarding their health.
This comprehensive program is designed based on evidence to empower healthcare providers so that they can offer informed, patient-centered care, particularly for those using botanical supplements.
Open to All
Participation in this CME event is completely free and available online, making it easily accessible not just locally but for healthcare professionals around the globe. SABER strongly urges all interested providers to register through the
Highmark CME Portal.
