New Educational Requirements for SUD: What EM Physicians Need to Know

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) released recommendations and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued specific guidance on how practitioners can meet the required training every clinician will need to receive or renew their DEA license. The requirement stems from the same legislation that repealed the X-waiver requirement for prescribing medications for opioid use disorder; stakeholders convinced Congress that additional education was also necessary. ACEP did not support this mandatory educational requirement. Fortunately, it appears that the DEA and SAMHSA are making the requirement extremely flexible. Learn more by reading ACEP’s regulatory blog at acep.org/regsandeggs.

If you still need to meet this training requirement, ACEP has you covered with this education in the Online Learning Center (acep.org/olc).

Award Honors Innovations in Suicide Prevention

Every year, ACEP partners with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to bestow the Innovation in Suicide Prevention Award. This honor recognizes promising and innovative acute care activities in the area of suicide prevention, that improve patient outcomes and lives of patients and/or clinicians.

The 2022 winners were Michael P. Wilson, MD, PhD, Angie Waliski, PhD, and Ronald G. Thompson, Jr., PhD, LCSW, who led the first pilot of a peer-delivered suicide safety planning program in the emergency department. EDs are many patients’ first access point to care, and 31 percent of people who die by suicide visit an ED in the year prior to their death. A safety plan empowers the patient to design and utilize a personalized list of coping skills, activities and supports for patients to cope with suicidal thoughts.
