ASAM S COMPREHENSIVE MRO TRAINING COURSE Comprehensive MRO Toxicology Testing and the Physician s Role in the Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse More than 20 million workplace drug test specimens are processed by certified laboratories every year. The results of these tests are reviewed and verified by more than nine thousand MROs. In so doing, MROs assume direct roles in the early intervention of destructive addictive pathways, the successful maintenance of ongoing treatment programs, and MROs help to assure the safety and well being of all. Training and experience in the area of workplace drug testing also provides expertise that can be used as the basis for Addiction Medicine Specialists to obtain another tool for their doctor s bags that can help them diagnose, treat and monitor the recovery of their patients. Whether a physician is certified in addiction medicine or in another medical specialty there is no more important and potentially life changing role a physician can play than the properly performed role of the MRO. MRO is a complex and rapidly evolving area because of technical advances, regulatory changes, new patterns of abuse and the huge bank of knowledge gained from past years of experience. As it is for all physicians, staying up-to-date is a basic requirement for MROs. Additionally, Federal Regulations require MRO qualification and re-qualification training MROCC Examination held in conjunction with ASAM Courses: followed by certification and re-certification by a nationally recognized MRO Certification board every Sunday, June 10, 2012 Sunday, December 2, 2012 5 years.
