Important: New DEA CE requirements on Controlled Substances

Fort Lauderdale, FL
The South Florida Council of Advanced Practice Nurses

I wanted to pass along this information regarding a new CE requirement for DEA registrants. I’ve also provided a link below containing a letter from the DEA as it relates to an 8 hour CE course on controlled substances.

The 8 hour CE course will meet licensure renewal requirements, if the completed course contains our required content areas. You may refer to Section 464.013, Florida Statutes to review pertinent language.

The link below contains the DEA letter that went out to their registrants on or about 3/27/2023.
