The North Carolina Medical Board established a new CME requirement last year that applies to physicians and physician assistants who prescribe controlled substances of any kind starting July 1, 2017. Read about the NCMB’s requirement. Get a jump on fulfilling this new CME requirement by attending the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) and the Pitt County Medical Society’s FREE opioid prescribing session in Greenville at the Holiday Inn Greenville on Saturday afternoon March 18 from 2-4 p.m. Learn more about the CME and register.
And please consider joining the NCMS and Pitt County Medical Society on Friday evening, March 17 for the March Madness Mixer from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Greenville.

- March 17-18: Greenville
