What does the term "just-in-time" training refer to in MAT?

The term "just-in-time" training in Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) refers to the concept of providing timely educational resources that are directly applicable during the treatment process. This training is designed to meet the immediate needs of healthcare providers and patients at critical moments, enhancing the effectiveness of care and ensuring that practitioners have the most relevant information available when they need it.

This approach allows for a more flexible and responsive learning environment where the focus is on real-time application of knowledge. It contrasts with more rigid training schedules or historical approaches that do not address current needs as effectively. By providing educational resources when they are most needed, just-in-time training helps to improve knowledge retention and application, ultimately benefiting patient outcomes in MAT.
