SABER Invites Healthcare Providers to Free CME Event on Kratom

The Scientific Association of Botanical Education and Research (SABER) is excited to share information about an upcoming free online and in person Continuing Medical Education (CME) event designed to educate healthcare providers on kratom. This virtual event, hosted by Tulane University, will take place on 1/31/2025 and is accessible through the registration link: Highmark CME Portal.

In recent years, kratom has gained attention as a botanical with potential benefits for managing pain and enhancing energy. However, healthcare providers often lack formal education on kratom and other botanicals, leaving them unprepared to address patient questions or concerns. This knowledge gap can lead to missed opportunities for patient-centered care and the safe use of these supplements.
