CE Requirements for License Renewal

Legislature Reinstates 1-Hour Controlled Substances CE Requirement for 2024-25 Biennium

A new rule has reinstated the requirement for 1 hour of continuing education (CE) on prescribing controlled substances for those doctors holding a current DEA license during the 2024-2025. Doctors must complete this education by their license renewal deadline in December 2025.

The WOA will provide opportunities for members to meet this requirement. The next course will be held at the November Primary Care Symposium in the Wisconsin Dells, with another lecture available during the WOA Spring Seminar on May 1–2, 2025, also in the Dells. Registration for the Spring Seminar opens in January.
