Controlled Substances Webinar

This webinar is specifically tailored for relief veterinarians navigating the complex landscape of controlled substances compliance. We'll tackle the most common questions and challenges faced by locum practitioners, providing practical guidance on registration, licensing,  record-keeping, prescription protocols, storage requirements, and DEA regulations. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to ensure full compliance and avoid potential pitfalls, regardless of the practice you're working in.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the licensing requirements and expectations for Relief DVMs who might work in multiple practices and multiple states.
2. Define what you are allowed to do and NOT allowed to do if you do NOT have a DEA registration number.
3. Identify the key federal and state regulations pertaining to controlled substance handling and record-keeping specifically relevant to relief veterinary practice.
4. Differentiate between proper storage, inventory, and disposal protocols for controlled substances in various practice settings encountered by relief veterinarians.
5. Articulate best practices for maintaining controlled substance security and responding to potential diversion or theft incidents while on relief duty or if you house controlled substances of your own.
