How to Meet DEA MATE Act Training Requirements: What Clinicians Need to Know
In an effort to combat the opioid crisis, the Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act now mandates that all DEA-registered practitioners complete one-time, eight-hour training on opioid use disorders (OUDs) and controlled substance prescribing. This requirement applies to both new and renewing DEA license holders, making it essential for clinicians who prescribe controlled substances to stay compliant.
With tight schedules and numerous CME requirements, healthcare providers need a convenient, efficient, and accredited way to fulfill this mandate. That’s where our 8-credit DEA MATE Act course comes in.
Understanding the MATE Act Requirements
The MATE Act requires that any clinician applying for or renewing a DEA registration complete training on:
-
Recognizing and managing substance use disorders
-
Safe opioid prescribing practices
-
Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), such as buprenorphine and methadone
-
Ethical and legal considerations in controlled substance prescribing
With non-compliance potentially leading to DEA penalties, fines, and legal issues, it’s critical that healthcare providers complete their required training before their next DEA renewal cycle.
