We are excited to announce this second Hands-On course! The format is similar to Hands-On Suturing in some ways, and different in others. Here is the hybrid format for Meds By Injection:
1. Enrollment is available on an on-going basis
2. The on-demand portion is available immediately upon enrollment
3. Sign-up for a 1 hour private Zoom (Available dates/times can be seen here, but you'll need to enroll in the course to reserve a slot.)
4. We'll send you a supply kit to use during your live Zoom. The supply kit is sent at no additional fee, and return postage is included.
5. Prior to your live Zoom, you'll need to complete the on-demand portion, including passing all written quizzes.
6. During your live Zoom, you'll practice administering medications, receive feedback from the instructor regarding your technique and skills, and then take a skills test.
7. After your live Zoom, you'll return your supply kit. You'll continue to have access to the on-demand portion for at least a year.
