Course Description
In 2021 Nevada Legislative Session passed AB422 that changed the following NRS 631 sections:
SECTION 18.5. NRS 631.342 was amended to read as follows: Each licensee must complete, as part of continuing education, at least 2 hours of training in the screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment approach to substance use disorder within 2 years after initial licensure.
SECTION 19. NRS 631.344 was amended to read as follows: 631.344 The Board shall, by regulation, require each holder of a license to practice dentistry who is registered to dispense controlled substances pursuant to NRS 453.231 to complete at least 2 hours of training relating specifically to persons with substance use and other addictive disorders and the prescribing of opioids during each period of licensure. Such training may include, without limitation, training in the screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment approach to substance use disorder. Any such holder of a license may use [such] training required by the regulations adopted pursuant to this section to satisfy 2 hours of any continuing education requirement established by the Board.
This is currently a one time requirement and this 2-hour presentation satisfies the NSBDE requirement. This course is not to be confused with the 2 hour opioid requirement that is required to be completed every licensure period.
Target Audience: General Dentists, Specialist, Hygienists, Dental Students, Recent Graduates, GPR Residents
