CME Course Schedule
Since the Alliance was formed in 2018, we have made (typically) hour-long presentations to over 15,000 prescribers in 51 different venues. We have several more planned for this year (see below). Many of these presentations are fully accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses. They typically contain a more detailed version of much of the information presented on this website, along with extensive references. Some courses include direct patient experiences with withdrawal and recovery from benzodiazepines.
