House officers must hold and maintain a valid and current Illinois license. While the GME Office and your program coordinator will work with you to obtain and maintain a current license, it is exclusively your responsibility to ensure that your license is always current.
Applications take as long as a minimum of eight weeks to process. Please don’t delay in completing your application and support documents. Instructions are linked to this website for your
assistance. If after reviewing them you have additional questions, please call your coordinator.

This form may be completed online and paid for with a credit card.
While you are in training you may use the institution’s DEA number. However, if you wish to apply for your own Federal DEA number, you will need to complete this form. The Illinois State Controlled Substances License is required in order to be eligible to apply for a Federal DEA number, or if you already hold a Federal DEA number and a permanent license from another state, you must apply for an Illinois Controlled Substance License in order to use your current Federal DEA number in Illinois.
