Here is some information on the upcoming Volunteer Symposia that has been sent to the volunteers that are registered in the ADPH volunteer database.
The training is free and at no cost to attend and is open to anyone that wishes to attend.
CEUs will be offered to nurses, pharmacists, social workers, EMT and Paramedics. (The exact number of CEUs has not been set, but these disciplines will receive CEUs at the training).
The training requires that you register through the website--links are provided below. If you are planning to attend registration is required to insure that we do not exceed the capacity set for each event site--capacity for each event is 250 (which includes attendees, presenters, and staff working the event).
