The recertification course is a competency-based program, which assumes you know all about giving medications. The purpose of the competency-based course is to test your ability to give medications to clients. Therefore, there is more testing and less review. A study guide will be provided to you for your review before the course.

During the 8 hour course you will be required to do the following: transcribe medication orders to the MAR without error, administer medications to a classmate without error, take all 4 vital signs (B/P, T, P, R, and Apical Pulse), answer some oral questions, and complete a State prepared test. The score for successful completion of the recertification test is 80%.

All students must provide a copy of their current CRMA certification to enable them to take the course.
