Fundamental Drug Diversion Certificate
About Fundamental Drug Diversion Certificate
The IHFDA Executive Board could not be more excited with the advent of the brand new fundamental course on drug diversion inside healthcare facilities. This ground breaking 8 hour compilation of some of the most experienced and trusted experts in this field should prove extremely helpful whether you are just starting to seriously look at drug diversion inside your institution or you have been doing it for several years. We have provided a well rounded course that will address the main concerns of everyone who is tasked with these crucial investigations, with the ability to ask questions of the actual presenters. The presenters are either currently working on drug diversion inside a healthcare facility, or have spent many years in the field.
The first offering of this course will provide continuing education credits and will be presented virtual with live Q/A on the first day of the conference for both virutal and in-person attendees. Registrants will receive the entire 8 hour session approximately two weeks prior to our annual conference which is scheduled for September 26-28, 2022. This allows registrants two weeks to view the program and prepare for any questions they want to ask the presenters. The presenters will be in Nashville the morning of Monday, September 26th, and will take your questions virtually. If registrants are also attending the annual conference in Nashville, they can attend in person to ask their questions.
Registrants can take the virtual course for $200 unless they are also attending the annual conference, which would then provide a $50 discount, making the fee $150. Either way, continuing education credits would apply and a certificate of completion will accompany this course, the first of its kind!
This is something many of you in the field have been asking for years to be available for your new people into this area of investigation and those who desire a refresher course while also seeing the most recent methods and means of today’s investigators. Thanks for your input and support as we embark on this very important educational forum.
