- Nothing to report: Indiana sets no CME requirement for renewing an MD or DO license, and since July 1, 2025 the Controlled Substance Registration no longer requires proof of opioid CME. Hospitals, specialty boards, the DEA (one-time 8-hour MATE Act training) and other states may still require CME, so keep your certificates.
- Board
- Medical Licensing Board of Indiana (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency)
Indiana sets no continuing-education requirement for MD license renewal — the renewal itself is still due on time.
