Hello-
Stakeholders were invited to participate in a review of the Board's policy on Approved Curriculum Content for Medication Aide Training Programs by WebEx on February 3 & 10, 2011.  As a result of those two meetings, a draft of proposed changes to the Board's curriculum policy is attached for your review along with related proposed changes to Division 61 of the Nurse Practice.  The proposed changes are modeled off of the National Council of State Board's of Nursing (NCSBN) 2007 Medication Assistant-Certified (MA-C) Model Curriculum.  A copy of the NCSBN Model Curriculum is attached for your convenience.
The changes to Division 61 would:	
1)	Remove a barrier in the qualifications for the program director and primary instructor of medication aide training programs.
2)	Broaden clinical preceptor qualifications for the medication aide training program clinical experience.
3)	Increase the classroom/lab hours for medication aide training programs.
4)	Simplify the language related to the process for the student progression during the clinical experience in 	medication aide training programs.
These drafts will be presented to the Board at the April Board meeting for first reading with the intention of having a hearing in June.
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. Debbie
