Sign up for DQA and UW Oshkosh Caregiver Project Workshops
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Center for Career Development (CCDET) and the Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) are pleased to announce upcoming workshops in April and May 2016 in the Madison, Green Bay and Milwaukee areas. These workshops are partially subsidized by DQA.
Continuing Education for Caregivers: Training for Trainers (including the new Fear of Retaliation training) – This full-day workshop at a cost of $145 per participant, including lunch, combines the former Topical Training for Trainers and Experiential Video Training for Trainers. Participants will receive:
• An overview of all training materials
• Copies of selected Facilitator Guides and handouts
• Suggestions for matching training modules with specific continuing education requirements
• Training tips and an opportunity to participate in several training activities
This workshop introduces participants to over 30 hours of Caregiver Project training materials designed to prevent abuse and neglect, increase quality of care and meet continuing education requirements for caregivers in settings regulated by DQA. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to train direct caregivers and other staff in their own facilities. NOTE for CBRF 83.20 approved instructors: This class is approved by DQA for 3 hours of required adult learning continuing education.
Investigating and Reporting Allegations of Misconduct (for nursing homes and non-nursing homes) – This half-day workshop at a cost of $115 per participant will help participants identify the key components of conducting internal investigations into allegations of abuse, neglect and misappropriation.
Participants will develop an investigation protocol while learning about:
• Conducting an investigation
• Interviewing skills
• Caregiver misconduct definitions
• Reporting requirements
Both workshops will be presented on consecutive days in the following cities this spring:
April 13 - 14, De Forest (Madison area)
April 26 - 27, Green Bay
May 10 - 11, Port Washington (Milwaukee area)
You may attend one or both days in each city—material is different each day. Cost of attending both workshops is $250.
Registration is open to multiple individuals per facility.
