Reminder: DEA 8-Hr Course Requirement In Effect

As stated in our blog article published on May 3^rd, effective June 27, 2023, the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) requires all DEA-registered practitioners, including dentists, to meet a one-time, 8-hour training requirement on identifying, treating, and managing patients with opioid or other substance use disorders. Information on the new training requirement can be found here.

While the OSHA Review Compliance Program does not cover the DEA’s new Federal 8-hour CE requirement, NEJM Knowledge+, the same organization behind the New England Journal of Medicine, offers a complimentary 10-hour course which meets the DEA’s new training requirement.
