The session is intended to cover topics that are not traditionally the focus of standard medical review officer (MRO) educational or training programs. The session will include updates on Department of Transportation focal points from the prior year and also address difficult MRO issues, including medicinal or state specific legal recreational marijuana use, and fitness-for-duty issues. The session will end with an MRO Jeopardy game show comprised of audience contestants that is used as a fun way to refresh MRO knowledge and its application. This session was organized by the Medical Review Officers Special Interest Section.
