DEA REGISTRATION

Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) numbers are required for prescribing controlled substances. Those trainees who hold a limited Massachusetts medical license will be issued a DEA number under the hospital's umbrella number upon arrival. This number can only be used at the issuing hospital.
Note: If you rotate to another institution for training, you must register to use that institution's umbrella DEA number.

Trainees who hold a full Massachusetts medical license should apply for their own Federal DEA number and Massachusetts narcotic number. Applications are available in the Registrar's Office at MGH (617-726-2119) and at the Graduate Medical Education Office at BWH (617-732-8540). Note: Physicians who were issued a federal DEA number based on a full license in another state are not authorized to use that federal number in Massachusetts.
