The United States is in the midst of an urgent and complex opioid crisis. To address how education and training can more effectively respond to this crisis, we must have a better understanding of problems in practiceor professional practice gapsfor health professionals and teams in practice. A coordinated response requires identifying and addressing professional practice gaps (PPGs) related to pain management, opioid use disorder, and other substance use disorder (SUD) care, as well as integrating evidence-based best practices into health professional education and training curricula across the continuum from undergraduate training into post-graduate continuing education This Special Publication presents two information-gathering efforts to assess persisting PPGs pertaining to pain management and SUD care and to better understand the current health professional education environment: the first is a comprehensive literature review, and the second is a survey of the regulatory landscape.The results underscore the need to collaboratively develop a harmonized interprofessional, person- and family-centered approach for the continuum of health professions education to more effectively address the opioid crisis.In this Special Publication, the Health Professional Education and Training Workgroup of the National Academy of Medicine's Action Collaborative on Countering the U.S. Opioid Epidemic identified five action-oriented priorities to support this goal:Establish minimum core competencies in pain management and substance use disorders for all health care professionals, and support tracking of health care professionals' competenceAlign accreditors' expectations for interprofessional collaboration in education for pain management and substance use disordersFoster interprofessional collaboration among licensing and certifying bodies to optimize regulatory approaches and outcomesUnleash the capacity for continuing education to meet health professions learners where they are through investment and leadership, andCollaborate to harmonize practice improvement initiativesWith due effort and support, these approaches will amplify effective practices while harmonizing and improving the environment for health care professionals to best serve the needs of their patients and communities.
