This course is intended for currently certified Medication Aides (CMAs) seeking advanced training in the administration of medications and nutrition through nasogastric and gastrostomy tubes. It is designed to prepare CMAs to safely care for long-term care residents with specialized enteral needs.

The course includes 6 hours of instruction delivered in a flexible, self-paced hybrid format. Hybrid means a combination of in-person instruction and limited optional online hours through our Flexible Health Zoom Classroom. All skills training and exams must be completed in person. Students will work with the instructor to develop a personalized schedule and may choose to complete all hours in person if preferred. All skill demonstrations must be completed in person and require 100% proficiency.

This course qualifies toward the required CMA update hours when taken in combination with the CMA Advanced Respiratory Class, which requires separate enrollment.
