LTC and RAI Webinar - Online Seminars

So often, we only have the time and resources to give our MDS Coordinator and MDS Interdisciplinary Team the “Sink or Swim” orientation to the MDS process.

We have created each Webinar format to help keep your staff trained at your location with a live instructor. You and your staff will have an opportunity to ask questions right during the seminar. You’ll receive seminar handouts via email, prior to the training that can be used for reference time and again. And because our instructors have years of experience in the Long Term Care industry, you know you’ll get reliable information presented in a common sense, easy to understand manner.
