WEB-064A: You get a call that a rep from the DEA regional office is here and would like to inspect your controlled substances. What do you do? While most of us are accustomed to hosting visits by the USDA, AAALAC research sponsors and sometimes even members of the public, why does a potential visit by the DEA cause us so much trepidation? This and other questions will be explored during this one hour webinar that will include a review of the history of diversion control, the unique challenges faced by those supporting animal research in varying sectors (academia, CRO, large pharma), the more common issues identified among veterinary practitioners, and suggestions for ways to ensure your program meets the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act.
Audience: Animal care program directors, veterinarians, IACUC members, IACUC staff, researchers, and facility managers/supervisors.

RACE CEs: Viewers of the live event or the recording can receive RACE continuing education credits by taking a 5-question post-test on the AALAS Learning Library. A free enrollment is all that is required to access the test and to generate the RACE certificate; no subscription is required. This program is approved by the AAVSB RACE to offer a total of 1.00 CE Credit (1.0 max) being available to any one veterinarian: and/or 1.00 Veterinary Technician CE Credits (1.00 max). This RACE approval is for the subject matter category of Medical Program. This approval is valid in jurisdictions which recognize AAVSB RACE; however, participants are responsible for ascertaining each board's CE requirements. RACE does not "accredit" or "endorse" or "certify" any program or person, nor does RACE approval validate the content of the program.
