New Courses Available for CEUs and DME Training

VGM Education is pleased to tell you that the following new courses are now available to be assigned or enrolled in and taken:

HR016 - Patient Rights and Responsibilities

Everyone in the United States has certain rights that are guaranteed by law. People who are consumers of health care also have rights, including the right to receive quality care.  Along with those rights come certain responsibilities as consumers in our health care system. This course explains what those rights and responsibilities are as defined in 1997 by the Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry. 


HR017 - Meth and Selling Scheduled Listed Chemical Products 
Methamphetamine addiction has grown to epidemic proportions in the United States. Chemicals used to make meth include ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, which are found in many cough and cold products and are known as “scheduled listed chemical products” (or SLCPs). Recent federal legislation requires all “regulated sellers” of products containing these three products to self-certify with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) before selling the products. While this course does not satisfy the DEA’s self-certifying requirement, it does provide the information the DEA requires in order to self-certify.
