The Pennsylvania Department of Health (PA DOH) and Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH), in collaboration with the Center for Forensic Science Research & Education (CSFRE), are providing virtual trainings to clinicians and non-clinicians on best practices for caring for individuals with xylazine-associated wounds. These trainings are offered at no-cost to attendees and can be used to meet various continuing education requirements.

Anyone who interacts with people who use drugs can benefit from learning about how to care for people with xylazine-associated wounds.

These trainings will be offered in two separate two-hour sessions for individuals and organizations who work in Pennsylvania. The first live webinar on October 23, 2024 from 1-3pm, will be for non-clinicians, and the second live webinar on November 6, 2024 from 1-3pm, will be for clinicians.

*Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS) who complete this training may utilize credits to meet certification/re-certification training requirements. A training certificate will be provided to all attendees who complete the post-training assessment.
