Advanced Drug Recognition Expert Course

"DRE is not a destination, it's a journey."
- Dick Studdard

The second Advanced Drug Recognition Expert Course is now being offered. This first of it's kind, five day course has been designed for experienced DREs and DRE Instructors. As Dick says, the journey continues. There are many things that DREs are not taught as part of the DRE school, and this course will go well beyond what is learned there. Several national experts are being brought together for this very purpose. The first course was overwhelming popular, and the participants gave excellent reviews. Topics included in this course are: What They Don't Tell You in DRE School; Advanced Physiology; Advanced Toxicology; Advanced Eye Physiology and Eye Movements; Advanced Pupil Physiology and Repsonses; How drugs create the eye signs: "M & M Rounds" for DRE Evaluations; Why the DRE processes were chosen and developed; Question and Answer with Dick Studdard.
