DEA Registration Now Requires Physicians to Take Training on Substance Use Disorder
Effective June 27, 2023, the U.S. Congress enacted changes to the requirements for obtaining and maintaining a federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration.
The new law requires a one-time 8 hours of training for all DEA-registered healthcare professionals on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders. If you are currently registered, you must complete this training prior to renewing your registration.
Take a moment to check your registration status and renewal date to ensure that you act in time to meet this new requirement.
ISMIE offers several courses that count for 1 hour each that may be applied to the 8-hour training requirement. These courses are available to ISMIE policyholders:
