To all controlled substance licensees:
Most practitioners are now aware that Congress has passed the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) Act that removed the federal “DATA 2000” or “DATA-Waiver Program,” and the Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act that established a one-time training on substance use disorder for practitioners who prescribe controlled substances when they obtain or renew their Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration. In light of these changes, which are intended to educate practitioners and reduce barriers to obtaining medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) by eliminating burdens on providers who currently prescribe medications and new providers who wish to treat patients with OUD, the Bureau of Professional Licensing (BPL) would like to convey the following corresponding changes at the state level:
• The new DEA one-time 8-hour training requirement is effective June 27, 2023. Effective on this date, or the date on which the DEA requires the 8-hour training in the event the effective date is delayed, and until further notice, a practitioner required to attend a one-time opioid and controlled substances awareness training by the state’s Controlled Substances Rules, may use the 8 hours of training that is accepted by the DEA for their controlled substances registration to also meet the state’s required one-time training on opioids and other controlled substances awareness.
• In addition, R 338.3163 that limits prescribing, dispensing and administering a controlled substance to an individual with a substance use disorder will not be enforced by BPL until the rule is either modified or rescinded. This rule limited the circumstances under which a practitioner could treat an individual with substance use disorder, as well as the number of individuals that could be treated. All other laws and rules, both federal and state, must still be followed.
For more information about the elimination of the DATA-Waiver Program, and DEA’s 8-hour substance disorder training, please refer to the following websites:
• https://www.samhsa.gov/medications-substance-use-disorders/removal-data-waiver-requirement
• https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/pubs/docs/MATE_training.html
• MATE_Training_Letter_Final.pdf (usdoj.gov)
Questions may be sent to BPLHelp@michigan.gov
Thank you,
Bureau of Professional Licensing

The Importance of Research at MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine
Research is an integral part of medical school. Here at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM), we place great importance on research as we train future physicians, physician scientists and physician assistants. It's an important part of being a contemporary clinician – balancing care for patients with research and assessment, and we hope to instill the foundational elements for conducting and analyzing research as part of every MSUCOM student’s holistic education. These research tools will be used in identifying improvements in patient care and discovering enhancements in treatment or cures and eradication of diseases. Indeed, MSU’s College of Osteopathic is the leader for both supporting and exemplifying the importance of research amongst all osteopathic medical schools nationwide.
