Medical Review Officer Comprehensive Course- day 2

The need for trained medical review officers (MROs) to evaluate drug and alcohol test results is enormous, and it is estimated that more than 20 million Americans are covered by programs requiring testing. Physicians in many specialties conduct drug and alcohol tests for businesses, industries, government agencies, and schools. The Drug-Free Workplace Act affects all federal agencies, and mandatory alcohol and drug testing is now required of all intrastate truckers, commercial driver’s license holders, pilots, and other transportation workers.

ACOEM has been the educational provider of choice for MROs since 1990. More than 17,000 physicians have completed ACOEM’s highly acclaimed training.

Format: Lecture/discussion, self-assessment exercises, case studies, panel, questions, and answers.

Syllabus: Several sets of materials will be distributed electronically approximately 6 weeks before the course (or within 10 days of ACOEM receiving your registration if you register later):
1. MRO Course Syllabus
2. MRO Resource Manual

Registrants will receive an email with instructions on how to access and download the digital files. In addition, a hard copy of the syllabus will be distributed when they check-in for the course; hard copies of the MRO Resource Manual will not be available.

Registrants are strongly encouraged to review the materials in advance, beginning at least two weeks before the course. The pace of the course is fast and familiarity with the information will prove beneficial.
