ParticipantHello,
I’m looking for a basic online medication administration course for summer camp staff, so wanted to see if anyone here might have recommendations. Our leaders are WFA and WFR trained, and our health team currently also trains them in basic medication admin (5 Rights, adverse reactions, etc) – since our leaders do administer medications on-trail during trips. For next summer, I’d like to require a standard course they could each take in the pre-season, which we could then reinforce during our summer staff training.I’ve found a few designed specifically for providers working in child-care centers, and most seem to be contain state specific information. We have camps in multiple states, so I’d love to find one that is more general for camp staff and/or unlicensed staff.
Thanks for any ideas!
Carrie

MemberAstrid:
Great question. ACH is completing the work to get a 1 hour course online for camps like yourself to take or share with staff to take related to medication administration specific for camps. We are excited to offer this course as the need is significant.
Our goal is to have this course ready and loaded to our online learning center by the end of January if you can wait til then.

MemberThanks for your patience everyone. The Medication course is completed, placed in a layout and is sitting in front of the American Academy of Pediatrics COSH committee. I understand that we are supposed to receive feedback next week.
I am hopeful we can have this course loaded to the online learning center before symposium in February (20-25).
We are excited to be able to offer this course to many camp organizations who need a training course specific for camp.
We will keep you updated.

ParticipantTracey, is the Medication Management Training course offered within the Online Education Members page the new course you have been working on or something different? Can one of my staff who is not an ACH member get access to it or take the course?
Thank You, Jim BirdFebruary 17, 2023 at 2:25 pm #47539Tracey Gaslin

MemberHello Everyone:
The Medication administration course is now available in the online learning center on the website. We are hoping to fill a void for many camps and provide the necessary training to support UAPs assisting with medications at camp.
