MEDICATION TECH TRAINING – Day 2: 6 Hours
If you or your staff assist residents with self-administration of medications, then you need this class to comply with the nine topics required in Health & Safety code 1569.69.

For facilities with a capacity of 16 or more residents, 8 shadowing hours and 8 hours of online, classroom or other training are required. All other requirements remain the same as above.
