Getting an FDA number?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
You'll need your full state license first (not the limited license issued by your training program). You can then apply for your DEA number. Most places you'll also need your state controlled substance number for, of course a separate fee.
 
As noted above, you'll need a full license which requires passage of Step 3 and various lengths of training depending on your state and type of medical education (ie, IMGs are often required to have longer periods of training than US trained residents).
