Controlled Substances and Inventory: Issues for Maryland's Dispensing Physicians

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

The practice of dispensing any medication faces a certain amount of control and regulation, but when that medication is considered a "Controlled Substance" by the DEA, the control and regulation is taken to a whole new level. This module focuses on the intricacies of controlled substance laws and regulations as well as other practice nuances that will benefit any clinic considering dispensing these medications.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course, the physician participant should be able to:

1. Navigate online resources to find specific laws and regulations regarding controlled substances;
2. Differentiate between the schedule classes of controlled substances as defined by the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) and match the dispensing, security, recordkeeping and DEA forms requirements for each; and
3. Utilize best practices for inventory and maintaining records for inspection.

In the process of the disclosure process, all faculty and planners have disclosed the presences or absence of such relationships to MedChi. MedChi has identified, evaluated and where appropriate, attempted to resolve any potential conflicts of interest. This is done through the use of content validation, the use of evidence-based data, and multi-disciplinary peer review.
