DEA CME

All DEA-registered practitioners have new 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 two ways to fulfill your training requirement: a One-Day, Eight-Hour Webinar or On-Demand Lectures Modules. Required for all renewals and new DEA registrations, these two programs were developed and accredited by AffinityCE, an ACCME Accredited and DEA-Qualified Provider.

This course provides 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for license renewal and talks about the pharmacology, adverse effects, dosage, and administration of FDA-approved treatments for acute pain like nonopioid analgesics, adjuvant pain medications, migraine medicines, Tramadol/Celecoxib (Seglentis), Bupivacaine/Meloxicam (Zynrelef), IV Meloxicam (Anjeso), and Benzhydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Apadaz).
