What each state asks for.
Cited to the board's own rule.
Total hours, renewal cycles, every mandated topic, and each state's opioid and controlled-substance rule, for physicians (MD/DO), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, CRNAs and CAAs, sourced from board rules and statutes; each state page shows its last review date. Licensed in several states? The free planner merges them into one schedule.
Each state page covers all five professions in separate sections, because each is regulated by its own board. CAAs can practice only in the 24 jurisdictions that authorize them, which the pages say explicitly. The federal DEA MATE Act applies to every DEA registrant.
