Medical Mentoring for Addictions and Pain

Medical Mentoring for Addictions and Pain
The Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) have partnered to develop a new shared-care model in the fields of addictions, pain management, and methadone prescribing.

Patients presenting with the complications of opioid addiction and chronic pain are difficult to manage in the context of a family practice. Physicians who have focused practices in pain management or mental health and addictions especially those skilled in methadone prescribing, are often isolated from family physicians and unable to share their expertise with them.

The Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) has spearheaded the MMAP initiative - modeled after the OCFP’s Collaborative Mental Healthcare Network - to bring together physicians with expertise in pain management and addictions including methadone prescribers to mentor family physicians interested in chronic pain and or addictions.
