Inc., the national physician-led health solutions partner, will
offer a series of complimentary continuing education webinars to
clinical professionals within and outside of the Company beginning Oct.

management to maternal use and infant withdrawal. In response to this

address opioid use and abuse through a multifaceted approach that
includes advocacy efforts, research projects, multidisciplinary
educational activities and a National Opioid Management Collaborative.
“We were positioned to quickly bring together an interdisciplinary team
of experts to address the challenges of this epidemic,” said Jorge Del
Toro, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Women’s & Children’s Services of
MEDNAX. “Our anesthesiology, neonatology, and maternal-fetal specialists
collaborated to present a unique perspective.”
The webinars will optimize multidisciplinary fields to provide broad
information access for participating clinicians, all featuring a live
