MD/DO · Requirements & free courses
Missouri requires 50 hours every 2 years for MD/DO renewal, including 1 topic-specific mandate. Every one of them has a free option below unless we say otherwise.
Each requirement below is paired with activities we opened and verified ourselves.
1 hour per cycle.

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (CME by George Washington University)
Roughly 50 courses, most 0.5–1.0 credit, with expirations running into 2027–2028.

More options on the nutrition page.
A one-time 8 hours on substance use disorders, required of every DEA-registered practitioner regardless of state, due at your next registration or renewal. The attestation does not recur — you will not be asked again at future DEA renewals.
PCSS / American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry
Bundle worth up to 15 credits; 8 are needed for the DEA attestation.
PCSS / Opioid Response Network
14 stand-alone modules, roughly 0.75–1.25 credits each. Take only what you need.
You may already be covered. The requirement is satisfied without new coursework if you are board certified in addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry, graduated within the past five years from a qualifying program whose curriculum included the required content, or previously completed DATA-2000 waiver training.
