Opioid CME Requirement
WebEx May 26th, 5:30-7:30PM
The Minnesota legislature passed a law during the 2019 session requiring licensees with the authority to prescribe controlled substances to obtain at least two (2) hours of continuing education credit on best practices in prescribing opioids and controlled substances. Minnesota Statute §214.12, subd. 6.
Licensees are required to report completion of two continuing education credits between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022.
