New DEA Training Requirement Takes Effect June 27
Who Is Impacted, Eligible Training, and Attestation
As mandated by the federal Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act of 2021, beginning June 27, 2023, prescribers of controlled substances in schedules II, III, IV, and V must complete a one-time eight-hour training on managing patients with substance use disorders prior to their first registration or renewal of their Drug Enforcement Agency license.
This means the eight-hour training requirement must be met before:
· Applying for a DEA license for the first time on/after June 27, 2023; or
· One’s next DEA license renewal date on/after June 27, 2023.
This is a one-time DEA requirement. Once you’ve attested to completing eight hours of required training, you will not need to complete additional training for subsequent DEA renewals. It is important to note that for medical licensure in Michigan, physicians must still obtain three hours of training on pain and symptom management every 3-year licensure cycle.

The 2023 Outstanding Resident of the Year has been awarded to Emmanuel Dimitri Tito, DO. Dr. Tito was born in a small town of rural Cameroon, moved to the United States, completed college and then he decided "to join the U.S military so I could give back to a country that has given me so much." His leadership skills were apparent and would suit him very well in medical school.

MDHHS launches OpiRescue smartphone app to help Michigan residents prevent and reduce opioid overdoses
In an effort to reduce the occurrence of overdoses and help residents learn to treat an overdose, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is launching OpiRescue, a smartphone app aimed at reducing harm.
The OpiRescue app helps anyone, including first responders, prevent opioid misuse and reduce opioid overdose deaths by addressing education, prevention and tracking of overdose reversals.
“Preventing opioid deaths includes offering a variety of strategies to provide residents tools when and where they need them,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, MDHHS chief medical executive. “The OpiRescue app will support those who may encounter an overdose to immediately begin life-saving treatment to an affected individual.”
The OpiRescue app provides:
· Educational content to identify and reverse overdoses.
· A Naloxone finder to locate the medication nearby.
· A treatment locator.
· Information on how to report an overdose reversal.
The OpiRescue app is available statewide in Michigan on both Android and iOS platforms. It is free to use and anonymous. It can be downloaded at Apple iOS app store or through Google Play.
MDHHS partners, including Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans and Syringe Service Programs, actively involved in caring for members of the public experiencing opioid use disorder will have access to a dashboard for their region. The dashboard will allow those partners to view overdose reversal data in near real time and allocate additional resources as needed to areas with increased reports of overdose reversals.
For more information on Naloxone and how to obtain the medication, visit Michigan.gov/Naloxone
