  • Medical Assistant Training
    The PA IEP adapted the California Department of Health's "Immunizaiton Techniques: safe, effective, caring" program for Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. This training program is a 4-hour, hands-on session for no more than 15 participants per session. Participants watch a videotape, see slides highlighting key points, and then move through three "skill stations" practicing different aspects of drawing up and mixing vaccine, injecting vaccine safely and in a caring manner, comfort measures, documentation, and storage and handling. For more information about how you might use this curriculum, contact Amy Wishner, MSN, RN: awishner@paaap.org.
