Opioid Education

The Wisconsin Medical Examining Board (MEB) approved a rule requiring physicians with a DEA number to complete two CME credits on its Opioid Prescribing Guidelines for each renewal cycle. To help physicians comply with this rule, the Wisconsin Medical Society developed a series of on-demand webinars.

Presented by Wisconsin physicians who specialize in addiction and pain management, the webinars listed below are designed to address the challenges faced by physicians and other prescribers and to improve opioid prescribing practices without compromising the quality of patient care.

Each webinar has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and Maintenance of Certification Part II points for certain specialties.
