• I am licensed in good standing in the State of Georgia.
• I will verify that the applicant who is applying to become a certified medication aide is listed as a certified nurse aide in good standing on the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry.
• I will select a Certified Medication Aide (CMA) course book and develop a curriculum/quizzes/exams to teach candidates for the Certified Medication Aide Program (Georgia State approval not needed for curriculum/course test exams).
• I will utilize the Department of Community Health (DCH)-approved medication aide training standardized skills checklist. However, I understand that I may supplement the DCH-approved medication aide training skills guidelines and checklist with my own training materials. The additional training materials used will not conflict with the DCH-approved medication aide training guidelines or the Rules and Regulations for Assisted Living Communities and Nursing Homes.
• I personally will observe the applicant successfully complete without prompting, the tasks listed on the Department’s standardized skills checklist for medication administration in a setting where a certified medication aide may be authorized to function for individuals who actually require the administration of their medications.
