Per the statute, 40 hours of Category I CME every other year, and current approved national certification satisfies the CME requirement. The Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants requires 3 hours of opioid-related, substance-use-related, or addiction-related CME within the 40 (board renewal page: https://www.azpa.gov/Licensure/Licensure/pa-renewal-opioid-cme); the statute frames the opioid-topic hours around Schedule II prescribers with valid DEA registration or controlled-substance dispensers, so the exact scope of the 3-hour topic is reported as the board states it.
