Visit DEA Information website

• Trainees are required to apply for a federal DEA once they are fully licensed. MCSGME reimburses all residents and fellows (except Pathology trainees) for their DEA expense fee while in a Mayo training program.
• Trainees with a full Arizona medical license that apply for their initial Federal DEA registration before starting their training program at Mayo Clinic, can use a personal credit card to pay for the DEA fee and request reimbursement with a receipt provided to their Program Coordinator when they arrive at Mayo Clinic's campus in Phoenix, Arizona.
• Trainees who currently have a Federal DEA registration in another state or other medical institution must transfer their DEA registration to the business address for Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona: 5777 East Mayo Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85054. Note: You'll need to have a full Arizona medical license before you can change the DEA address.
  • Make DEA registration transfers as soon as possible after obtaining your full Arizona medical license since this is a requirement for prescribing medications within the state of Arizona.
    • If you're using this DEA at your current institution, do not transfer to Mayo Clinic until one to two weeks prior to your MCSGME appointment.
  • If you currently have an institutional DEA or a fee-exempt DEA, apply for a new DEA. These types of DEAs are not transferable.
• Trainees not eligible to apply for a Federal DEA because they do not have a full Arizona medical license, but will have a postgraduate training permit, will be provided with an institutional DEA number. Your institutional DEA number will be provided at Mayo Clinic orientation.
