Opioid prescribing & pain management

Bundle worth up to 15 credits; 8 are needed for the DEA attestation.

14 stand-alone modules, roughly 0.75–1.25 credits each. Take only what you need.

Explicitly satisfies the full one-time 8-hour DEA requirement in a single program. No NEJM or MMS membership needed. Carries ABIM, ABA and ABS MOC.

SAMHSA grant-funded. Completing all 8 courses earns a digital badge that PCSS states fulfills the DEA 8-hour requirement. The landing page designates 9.25 credits generally; AMA PRA Category 1 is among the credit types offered.

A catalog of 0.5–1.0 credit modules assembled to total 8 hours. Every listed module is free.

Heads up: The catalog index labels credit generically as 'CME' rather than printing 'AMA PRA Category 1' — confirm the designation inside each module if your board requires the exact wording.

1 credit per module. Stated to satisfy both the MATE Act and Pennsylvania Act 124. Open to clinicians in any state, not just Pennsylvania.

Counts toward the DEA 8-hour requirement and aligns with SAMHSA's MATE Act content recommendations — but at 2 credits it does NOT satisfy the full 8 hours on its own. Carries MOC points for several ABMS boards.

Heads up: The core training is free. The optional New York–specific supplemental module costs $25 — you do not need it for MATE Act purposes.

ASAM certifies this meets 2 of the DEA's 8 required hours. ASAM is named in the statute. Free to members and non-members alike.

Heads up: This is the only free course in ASAM's DEA catalog — the others run $99–$199.

CDC states plainly: 'No fees are charged for CDC's CE activities.' A free CDC TRAIN account is needed to claim the certificate.

Part of AMA Ed Hub's curated MATE Act collection.

Heads up: Only the items tagged FREE in that AMA collection are free — several others require payment or AMA membership.
