They will also gain experience in glucose testing using finger sticks, urine and stool collection, weight and height measurements, BMI calculations, infection control, and patient observation chart completion.
At the end of the course, participants must complete an online assessment to evaluate their understanding. Upon passing, successful candidates will be awarded a certificate of completion.
