Required categories

Training in preventing substance abuse and/or treating patients with substance use disorders (at least 2 cumulative hours per renewal period; statutory exemptions apply)
2h

Colorado's only general CME-style requirement for ordinary active PA renewal is the 2 hours of substance-use training per renewal period under Rule 135 (attestation at renewal; exemptions per C.R.S. 12-30-114(1)(b)). The commonly cited 100 hours every 2 years with 25 Category I hours in the preceding 12 months applies to return-to-practice, reinstatement, and reactivation continued-competency rules (3 CCR 713-29), not to ordinary active renewal. Expiration date confirmed on the DPO's official applications page: https://dpo.colorado.gov/Medical/Applications. No NCCPA-certification interplay was found in these rules.
