Federal law imposes limitations on in-office dispensing in a variety of circumstances.59 Controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) are regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which enforces detailed regulations concerning the prescription, storage, manipulation, record-keeping, and administration of controlled substances. Controlled substances can only be prescribed by practitioners holding a DEA registration. Practitioners require DEA registrations to prescribe any scheduled hormones (e.g., testosterone, HCG, GH, etc.). In certain states, naturopathic doctors are permitted to prescribe Schedule III-V controlled substances when operating under the supervision of a licensed Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathic medicine. In states like California, an N.D. can affiliate with a licensed M.D. through a supervision agreement.60

In the USA, medical students seeking a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) diploma and further graduate training must successfully complete national licensing exams. Data collected by the National Resident Matching Program from graduate residency programs cites performance on these licensing exams (National Board of Medical Examiners [NBME] USMLE Step 1; National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners [NBOME] COMLEX-USA Level 1; NBME USMLE Step 2; and NBOME COMLEX-USA Level 2) as the first and fourth most considered factors when selecting medical students for consideration for admission to the graduate program (National Resident Matching Program 2018). The same survey cites clinical specialty course (clerkship) grades as the sixth most important factor for consideration for medical student selection into graduate residency program (2018). Often, one component of clinical clerkship grades is performance on a standardized national subject exam (the NBME Subject Exam (‘shelf exams’) or NBOME Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Achievement Test (COMAT)) (National Resident Matching Program 2018).
