Who is a Certified Medication Aide?

Certified Medication Aides (CMAs) are CNA 1’s who have had additional training and are authorized to administer non-injectable medications.

Oregon CMAs must complete an OSBN-approved medication aide training program, pass a competency examination approved by the OSBN and receive CMA certification before administering medications.

For more information on becoming a CMA, contact us.

A facility nurse who will be the students preceptor MUST apply through Caregiver Training Institute first, then through the OSBN and be trained in our program to be approved to do this.

If a student wants to use their own preceptor, they should have that nurse or facility call the school prior to registering for the program.

New classes starting monthly; Call for information or to sign up for an orientation.
