Viewers also learn about prescribing and dispensing regulations and ways to help prevent diversion.
 OPIOIDS AND DRUG DIVERSION: VETERINARY TRENDSSecuring controlled substances at a practice is an important part of preventing drug diversion. Practitioners learn about opioid epidemic trends and some of the regulatory attempts that have been made to address drug diversion within practices.
 DRUG DIVERSION REGULATIONS AND COMPLIANCEVeterinary practices must comply with controlled substance regulations. This webinar teaches veterinary health care providers how to create a legally compliant process for controlled substance record keeping. It also explains what a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) is and identify potential pitfalls of the system.
 Approximately 18 states have requirements for veterinarians to participate in PDMP programs, however, a few of those states have exemptions under certain circumstances. States also vary in which substances must be reported, the frequency in reporting, and whether the veterinarian has to search the database prior to prescribing. A version of this story appears in the August 2023 print issue of JAVMA.   The Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry will host the Maine Cattle Health Assurance Program (MeCHAP) training event in Augusta. Date: TBD.  The theme will be cattle health, both dairy and beef, with expert invited speakers. Participants should plan for a full day and will receive 6 CEUs. The registration fee is being determined and will include lunch. Stay Tuned!  Email [email protected]  with any questions.
