ACMT DEA MATE Act Substance Use Disorder Educational Package

Overview

The American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT), in joint providership with AKH Inc (Advancing Knowledge in Healthcare), is pleased to offer a new opportunity to help healthcare practitioners seeking to comply with the DEA's new accredited CE requirements to fulfill the MATE Act.

This course consists of 4 separate activities which satisfy the new, eight-hour education requirement issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to meet the conditions of the MATE Act for all registered practitioners on treating and managing patients with opioid or other substance use disorders. 

• Activity 1: Clinical Updates on Substance Use Disorder (2.75 CR)
• Activity 2: Substance Use Screening and Treatment Approach in the ED – Opioids (1.50 CR)
• Activity 3: Substance Use Screening and Treatment Approach in the ED – Non-Opioids (1.25 CR)
• Activity 4: Highlights from Addiction Toxicology Case Conferences (3.0 CR)

Package vs. Individual Activities

Attendees can register for each activity separately as meets their needs or interest, or sign up for the 4-activity package (a $40 savings!).
