Washington Healthcare on Wednesdays (WHOW)

Each week, MSDC provides online community and on-demand information to meet the personal and professional needs of the physician community in Washington, DC.



Update: This event has concluded. You can watch the recording here.

The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Query Amendment Act of 2020 is expected to become law on or around March 15, 2021. Following the passage of the law, DC prescribers and dispensers will be mandated to query the PDMP:

  • prior to prescribing or dispensing an opioid or benzodiazepine for more than 7 consecutive days and
  • every 90 days thereafter while the course of treatment or therapy continues, or
  • prior to dispensing another refill after 90 days

This is an important update to your work and MSDC is providing the opportunity to ask your questions. Join us and the DC PDMP team as we hold a webinar previewing the changes, outlining what they mean for you, and providing answers on your pressing questions. In addition, DC PDMP will review other important topics such as Prescriber Reports and Gateway Integration.

Past MSDC webinar recordings and information is for MSDC members only. You must be logged in to your member account to access this information.
