Introduction
Certified Medication Aide Course prepares participants to administer some medications to residents in adult care facilities under a registered nurse's supervision. QMRP medication aides may administer medications only to residents in an intermediate care facility for the mentally challenged. This course will teach participants to administer medications in an adult care home safely. The course requires both theory and clinical portions, and the participant must be able to meet the competencies to be successful. Those who complete the course are eligible to take the Kansas Certification Examination of Medication Aide. The medication aide certification must be updated every two years.
