One of the most consequential is the state statute requiring all prescribers holding a DEA license to complete three hours of coursework in pain management, palliative care, and addiction every three years.
To reduce both cost and administrative friction, MSSNY is offering an updated three-part CME webinar series free of charge to members. Developed in collaboration with the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS), the program fully covers all eight state-required topic areas, including appropriate prescribing, management of acute and chronic pain, substance use disorder screening, legal requirements, and end-of-life care.
