This is a two-day training-seminar for medical doctors and certified nurses who are working with drug prevention and/or drug testing program at workplaces.

The prime directive of the MRO is to assess and determine the accuracy of a positive test result. Additional function of the MRO is to provide for the privacy and confidentiality of the employee's personal medical history during course of reviewing drug test results.
The course will cover occurrence of drug abuse in the society, pharmacology of illicit drugs, and motives for the employer and employee of a comprehensive prevention program, treatment models, legal aspects, laboratory drug testing, quality assurance, and the role of the MRO.
