What's New!

Coming to DCRx in 2024: Key Healthcare Courses! 

Allergies, Anaphylaxis, and Opioid Addiction Treatment       Two vital courses launching for DC's healthcare providers.

Allergies and Anaphylaxis: Focus on Food and Drug Reactions

  • Why Essential: With rising cases of food and drug allergies, it's crucial for healthcare professionals to effectively identify and treat these conditions, including anaphylaxis, to ensure patient safety and care.

Opioid Addiction Identification and Treatment with MAT

  • Why Critical: As opioid misuse escalates, understanding MAT becomes imperative. Recent regulation changes now allow prescribers to administer MAT without an X-waiver, expanding your ability to combat this crisis.

Elevate your practice in these pivotal areas coming soon!
