Courses

Meharry Medical College in joint providership with the Washington AGD through its affiliation with DOCS Education has created a new 8-hour course* that fulfills the new one-time opioid course requirement for DEA registration. The course will cover a range of topics related to opioid prescribing and pain management required by the Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act, including the risks and benefits of opioids, safe pharmacological management of dental pain and screening, treating and management of patients with substance abuse disorders, patient counseling and education, and more. It is worth 8 CE.

An informed, well-trained team is invaluable to every sedation dentist. Through careful assessment and identification of potential health conditions, the doctor and team can provide the highest quality of care and a safe sedation experience. Presented by DOCS Education with Dr. Carol Wilson, this invaluable course will help the dental team learn the ASA Classifications and evaluate which common medical conditions signify red flags in the patient history. You’ll learn proper protocols for specific complications as well as the limitations of ASA.
