Program overview

The first component,听Online Competency Program, is comprised of one video, and will take approximately two hours to complete. It will review intramuscular and subcutaneous injection techniques in pediatric patients, including site selection, needle length, the maximum volume to be administered, and administration process. It will also review common methods of holding pediatric patients during injection, pain management strategies, distraction techniques, and anaphylaxis. Pharmacists must achieve at least 70% on the post-study online test prior to being enrolled in the practical workshop.

The second component,听Administration of Pediatric Injections Workshop, is a two-hour workshop on the hands-on administration of pediatric injections, bundling and positioning, and distraction techniques. There is an in-person assessment where candidates must pilipili漫画fully landmark and administer injections in pediatric mannequins to receive a certificate of completion for the workshop. On the day of certification, participants will be provided with necessary supplies (i.e. needles, syringes, practice injection pads, etc.) and time to practice required skills.听Trained certifiers from Dal CPE and Dal School of Nursing will provide guidance and answer questions regarding any aspect of the injection process.

Prerequisite: You must hold a current injection permit to participate in this program.
