We are thrilled to host you on this educational journey dedicated to enhancing your knowledge, skills, and confidence in caring for people with complex conditions in the home and community.

Course Schedule
The course is meant to be flexible and accommodating to your schedule. A pace of one module per week is suggested, but remember that this pace and quiz due dates are recommendations. It is okay to complete two or three modules in one week because you have a busy couple of weeks ahead. Similarly, it is acceptable to view a module and complete quizzes later than recommended to catch up.
The only firm deadline we have for the online portion of the program is the completion of all modules and quizzes before you visit campus for the weekend skills intensive.
We will be checking in with you from time to time to ensure you are able to access the course materials, see how you are doing with the quizzes, and ask if there is anything we can do to support you in the course. You can also reach out to us with any questions you have via email, or drop in to any of the Zoom meetings listed below. If a Zoom drop-in is ever canceled or rescheduled, we will send an announcement via email.
