REMOTE- Medication Administration to Oregon Students

Due to COVID-19 related school closures in Oregon, MESD SHS is offering Medication administration training via live, VIRTUAL format. Medication administration training remains a necessity for school district staff being asked to provide emergency childcare to any children who require medications (daily or emergency frequency) and in preparation for when students return to on-site learning. Designated school personnel are required by Oregon law to receive annual training that has been approved by the Oregon Department of Education for the administration of medication in the school setting. Only those who have received this training may administer medications to students. After the initial training, staff may renew using an online format for the following two years, and must then attend in-person again on year 4. Every third annual training thereafter must be in-person. You must have authorization from your school district to attend this training. Please contact your supervisor or building administrator if you have questions. Please note this is a LIVE, VIRTUAL meeting. After registration, Julie Hering will send you an email with further instructions, including your training packet and link for the Zoom meeting. It is imperative that you register with your current email address, please update any changes-- jhering@mesd.k12.or.us will assist you if you need help making those changes. •If you have signed up and cannot attend, please call 503-257-1746 or email jhering@mesd.k12.or.us to cancel. •The class is 90-120 minutes in length and your video must be on for the entire class to receive certification for the course.
