Content is delivered through the Internet, online conferencing, email, and textbook readings. Participants can complete this program in the convenience of their home or office.
This course is designed to be completed in six weeks and provides 40 continuing education credits.
The program has five modules. Each modules includes reading assignments, study questions, case studies, and test questions.
