Seminar Description:
Are you ready to implement the newly established Certified Medication Aide (CMA) role in your facility?

Join us as we provide an overview of key elements in the CMA regulations, 105 CMR 775.00, including certification, scope of practice, training, and supervision requirements. In addition, attendees will hear directly from a provider who has successfully integrated medication aides into their long-term care workforce in Rhode Island.
