Medication Administration Trainings

Medication Administration training is being offered in our region. As per center licensing requirements, staff members who work in child care centers or Head Start and who administer medication must have medication administration training. These trainings are conducted through the WV DHHR Early Care and Education office & are WV S.T.A.R.S. approved. Training dates and sites are as follows:

Space is limited. Only twelve participants per class will be allowed. Slots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. You MUST PRE-REGISTER at least five (5) days in advance of the training session by calling the Elkins MountainHeart office at (304) 637-2840 or 1-877-862-3103 (toll free). If all spaces are taken, you may place staff members on the waiting list in the event that a slot becomes available. If the minimum number of participants is not met for a training session, the session will be cancelled.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Staff members must be registered on the WV S.T.A.R.S. Career Pathway before taking the medication administration training. You will not be permitted to attend the training session if you are not currently on the S.T.A.R.S. Career Pathway. All participants will need to bring their S.T.A.R.S. Pathway certificate with ID number and/or their feedback letter from WV S.T.A.R.S. stating that they have been approved and their certificate will be mailed soon. If staff attend the training and are not on the S.T.A.R.S. Career Pathway, the training will not count towards licensing requirements.

Participants must pass the Medication Administration competency test with 80% accuracy in order to pass the train- ing and obtain a certificate. Each participant must bring the following materials to the training: pencil or pen, paper, 1 pair of non-latex gloves, and 1 doll baby. The training session is 4 ½ hours long (including two 15 minute breaks). Reminder: Children may not attend the training session.
