Hello Melissa and OPRA member, The Academy for DSP’s is still holding some smaller med admin classes.  I will put together a schedule and let you know when they are if you have anyone who needs them.  For classes outside of Cincinnati, if you have a meeting space to hike them as well that would make us available to offer classes in other parts of the state.  Please reach out to me if you may have interest.

We had a class scheduled for Monday and Tuesday however our nurse is now sick and won’t be able to train any further classes for at least several weeks. We can not go without any new classes as we are already having staff call off sick. We serve 155 individuals and normally do two trainings per month. What are our options? Does the state realize that if we lose a large percentage of our work force and are unable to train any new staff that we will be unable to provide the needed services. Please let me know if there’s anyway one of my administrators could train med administration and then once this is over we can retain them. Please advice. Thank you.
