OPIOID EDUCATION RESOURCES

New resources to help providers meet DEA requirements associated with opioids 

OPIOID CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS (BY STATE) FOR PHYSICIANS
COPIC has compiled a list of state-level CME requirements related to opioid prescribing education requirements. States highlighted in this document include: AZ, CO, IA, KS, MN, MT, NE, ND, OK, SD, UT, WI, and WY.

CME OPIOID EDUCATION RESOURCE LIST 
COPIC has created a CME Opioid Education Resource List that provides information on national organizations that offer CME education to meet newly enacted DEA requirements. Please note: a) many of the CME courses provided by these organizations are free; and b) these courses are from organizations outside of COPIC and do not qualify for COPIC points.
