We can meet with you and help you with advice about the documentation and the equipment you may need, and any other questions you may have about the registration process with GDNA and DEA. Please review the information in the registration page before our meetins as a lot of questions can be resolved by reading the content.

You can be inspected by the Georgia Narcotics and Drugs Agency or DEA at any time. In addition, we will conduct QA/QI reviews at random to ensure our program at Emory complies with our federal and state requirements.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A QA/QI VISIT OR AGENCY INSPECTION?

You can be ready for any inspection or our QA QI visit by:

  • Completing the Dangerous Drugs Self-Inspection and the Controlled Substances Self-Inspection annually

  • For Controlled Substances, conducting an annual inventory. You can use our form to do so. Per the regulations, you are required to at least complete inventory every two years, but we recommend doing it annually to prevent issues with documentation or lost documents.

  • Maintaining your GDNA and/or DEA Ready Binder. Use this checklist to help you prepare your binder.

  • Complete our training! The training contains all the information you should know about the registration process. Go to this page for more information.

TEMPLATES FOR THE FORMS CAN BE FOUND ON OUR FORMS PAGE.
If you are interested in any of the above programs, please get in touch with us at oric@emory.edu or come to one of our Q&A sessions.
