AI Summary
This bill, the Enhancing Access to Addiction Treatment Act of 2018, aims to amend the Controlled Substances Act to facilitate waivers of the separate registration requirement for physicians dispensing narcotic drugs for maintenance or detoxification treatment. Specifically, it adds a new provision that allows physicians who graduated from an accredited medical school in the United States within the past 5 years and completed at least 24 hours of training on treating and managing opioid-dependent patients to be eligible for the waiver. The bill also establishes a grant program to support the development of curricula at accredited medical schools and teaching hospitals to meet the new training requirements.
