ACMT Position on the Recent Judicial Challenge of U.S. Food and Drug Administration Approval of Mifepristone
ACMT supports the role of the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drugs. Recently, there have been legal efforts to reverse the 2000 U.S. FDA approval of mifepristone, a medication with over two decades of established safety and efficacy. Revoking mifepristone approval would not only undermine the robust FDA approval process and overturn precedent on scientific regulation of drugs, but will limit access to the medication, which will have harmful consequences. -
New MATE Act Educational Requirements to Renew DEA License – What ACMT Members Should Know

With a goal of improving patient care, ACMT was a co-sponsor of this act. ACMT is pleased to offer a new webinar-based education option to assist our members in meeting these requirements.
