Most Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Who needs to comply?

A. All DEA-registered practitioners, regardless of your scope of practice. The only exception is practitioners that are solely veterinarians. Podiatrists with DEA licenses ARE included in this new requirement.

Q. How do I report compliance?

A. Starting on June 27, 2023, practitioners will need to affirm that they have completed the new training requirement from a DEA-qualified provider by checking a box on their online DEA registration form, whether they are completing their initial registration application or renewing their registration.

Q. What is my deadline for compliance?

A. Your deadline is the date of your next scheduled DEA registration submission—regardless of whether it is an initial registration or a renewal registration—on or after June 27, 2023. This is a one-time training requirement and will not be a part of future registration renewals.

Q. How often are DEA license renewed?

A. DEA licenses are renewed every three years.

Q. How do I satisfy the new DEA training requirement?

A. You have two options:

Option 1.
Participated in a DEA Qualified Training Program

Practitioners can satisfy this training by engaging in a total of eight hours (8) of training on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders from accredited groups. Some key points regarding this training include:

  • The training can be cumulative across multiple sessions. The eight (8) required hours of training can be provided through different activity formats (eg, live, online, enduring, etc) and do not have to be completed in one session and can be satisfied through a combination of activities.
  • You can claim credit for education already received, ie, Opioid or Pain Management Lectures.
  • Training can occur in various formats, such as classroom settings, seminars at professional society meetings, virtual conferences, webinars and on-demand pre-recorded online lectures.

Option 2.
Board certification or medical school route

Certain groups of practitioners are deemed to have satisfied this training. They include:

  • Practitioners board certified in addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry from recognized boards
  • Practitioners who graduated in good standing from a U.S. medical, dental, physician assistant, or advanced practice nursing school within five years of June 27, 2023, and completed a comprehensive curriculum that included at least eight hours of relevant training.

Bottom Line

Complying with the DEA's new one-time, eight-hour training requirement is essential for all registered practitioners. Ensure that you meet the requirements and continue to provide the best care to your patients with opioid or other substance use disorders.
