An introductory course required for all Washington State Adult Family Home Care providers and care givers. Instruction includes all elements necessary to meet state license requirements. Satisfactory completion of all units is mandated for all providers and care givers. Mandatory CASAS exam included and proctored by appointment.

This one-day class provides an overview of the AFH administrator training program and expectations of the AFH licensee. This class is one of the requirements (see Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 388-76-10060) applicants need to meet prior to turning in the application for licensing. Students will receive a certificate after completing the class; this certificate is valid for one calendar year from the date of attendance.

This Electrocardiogram (EKG) Technician Program prepares students to perform EKGs. This course will include information on anatomy and physiology of the heart, medical disease processes, medical terminology, medical ethics, legal aspects of patient contact, electrocardiography, and stress testing. A highly interactive course!

This 33-hour online course is designed for RNs, CVTs and RTs currently employed in a cath lab with two years of cath lab experience or a graduate from an accredited CVT program. Review parts 1 and 2 may be taken in any order. Email CEHealthandMEd@ccs.spokane.edu for textbook requiremen

Identifying and determining the most effective methods and procedures for making a metal upright AFO is the focus of this education program. At the conclusion of the education program, the student will understand the basic procedures for fabricating a metal upright AFO. At the conclusion of the course the student will be able to:

1. Describe the design and rationale of various metal upright AFOs

2. Describe principles of biomechanics and kinesiology as they relate to the design and function of metal upright AFOs

3. Identify materials and componentry used in the fabrication of metal AFOs

4. Rectify schema generated for the fabrication of metal AFOs

5. Demonstrate knowledge and skills to fabricate metal AFOs incorporating tibial torsion

6. Demonstrate knowledge and skills to fabricate auxiliary control components for metal AFOs

This continuing education course is approved for eight (8) CEU credits from the ABC. A certificate from the O&P Technology Program at SFCC will be provided once the course has been completed

Identifying and determining the most effective methods and procedures for making plastic AFO is the focus of this education program. A plastic AFO is custom fabricated with molded plastic that encloses the back of the calf and bottom of the foot. It may be fabricated with or without ankle motion. It is to be worn with a Velcro or lace up shoe.At the conclusion of the course the student will be able to:

1. Describe the design and rationale of various AFOs, including metal and leather, rigid thermoplastic, and articulated thermoplastic variants

2. Describe principles of biomechanics and kinesiology as they relate to the design and function of lower extremity orthoses

3. Identify materials and componentry used in the fabrication of AFOs

4. Rectify schema generated for the fabrication of metal and leather AFOs

5. Demonstrate knowledge and skill to prepare positive models for thermoplastic AFOs including Category I & II modifications and sagittal plane angular corrections

6. Demonstrate knowledge and skills to fabricate metal and leather AFOs incorporating tibial torsion.

This continuing education course is approved for three (3) CEU credits from the ABC. A certificate from the O&P Technology Program at SFCC will be provided once the course has been completed.
