New York CME Requirements and Courses

All DEA-registered practitioners have training requirements due at DEA registration renewal. With the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, the DEA now requires you to complete a one-time, eight-hour training requirement on the treatment and management of patients with opioid substance use disorders. PRESENT offers On-Demand Lectures Modules to complete your DEA CME requirements. Required for all renewals and new DEA registrations, this program was developed and accredited by AffinityCE, an ACCME Accredited and DEA-Qualified Provider.

This activity meets the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) requirement that as of June 27, 2023, new or renewing DEA registrants must complete a minimum of 8 hours of accredited continuing education (CE) on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders before renewing their license.

Every 7 minutes in our country, a person dies from a drug overdose, while a child is also born approximately every 30 minutes dependent on opioids. How do we as healthcare professionals offer non-stigmatic patient care and contribute to the progress of society in the right direction? Substance use disorder (addiction) is likened to an iceberg or a weed, in that the issues underneath the surface are typically even more complicated than what is viewed from the surface. Addiction spans hundreds of substances of abuse highlighted by stimulants (cocaine and methamphetamine), cannabis (plant, synthetics, and extracts), and opioids (heroin, fentanyl, and carfentanyl). As one can recall with the substance of ethyl alcohol (i.e. beer, wine, and hard liquor), a substance may never actually chemically change, yet can move across legal classifications of substances, leaving all healthcare professionals in need of knowledge on all substances of abuse. Opioid use disorder (opioid addiction) is combated with the medication-assisted treatments (MAT) of naltrexone, methadone, and buprenorphine, while opioid overdose respiratory depression is reversed with naloxone. Over the course of this activity, we will aim for “higher” education on all of these dynamic aspects. Unlike opioids, this activity is sure to open your eyes and possibly even elevate your blood pressure and/or heart rate!!!
