Description:
A Trained Medication Aide (TMA) distributes patient medications in nursing homes, schools, correctional facilities and other non-hospital, assisted living facilities. Medication aides are directly supervised by doctors or other licensed caretakers. They typically assist patients in properly taking oral, topical or rectal prescriptions in correct dosages, as well as adhering to strict medical regimens. TMAs may also supervise patients to ensure they do not have any adverse reactions after taking their medications.
Being cross-trained may enhance and advance your career in Healthcare.
