Elevate your practice status by achieving
the status of Safe Prescriber
The
Safe Prescriber program was created by the Illinois Academy of
Family Physicians to aide physicians in administering safe pain
management to their patients by offering them education and
resources on safe prescribing. Physicians who have completed
the stated criteria are awarded Safe Prescribed status by the
Illinois Academy of Family Physicians. The IAFP does not monitor
prescription use by physicians and cannot be held liable for an
misconduct of safe prescribers.
To
achieve the
Safe Prescriber Level One,
physicians must follow the simple 6-step process: 1.

Opioid Drugs in Primary Care Practice ·
