Online (self-paced) Bariatric Education:

Caregivers can earn CE credit by working through any of the ANCC-accredited programs. Three modules are specific to care of the bariatric patient.  Bariatric patients, like most patients, are also at risk for skin breakdown. There are also several modules that address pressure ulcers.  Each module is accredited for 1 credit hour/Clock Hour/CEU.
