Course enrollment policy: All course enrollments must be completed by the student’s employer with the enrollment link below
The Maine CRMA 40-hour hybrid course (Certified Residential Medication Aide) is Maine DHHS approved for unlicensed certification to give non-injectable medications to clients in a licensed residential care setting. This hybrid course is only for students who are unable to attend a full in-person class due to work scheduling, are already experienced in healthcare, and able to manage independent study.
Licensed settings include assisted living, nursing home, outpatient medical office, drug detox recovery, and a variety of other residential healthcare settings.
A CRMA may also administer injectable insulin or an EpiPen, with additional training by an RN (see our Diabetes training course)
All CRMA certificates expire every two years (see our CRMA recertification course)
Following a guided self-study format through our online staff/student learning lab, students will meet for a one-day session with the instructor for skills review, competency evaluation, group discussion, and proctored quiz/exam testing. (Grading guidelines are outlined in the CRMA curriculum Introduction)
After successful completion of the in-person/exam session, a hands-on med pass must be completed with an RN at the workplace, which validates the student’s competency, utilizing the CRMA skills checklist. The completed skills checklist is emailed to the instructor, in PDF format
Students are responsible for verifying the skills checklist was received, and to check the certificate portal link from our website, for their active CRMA certificate, before working independently as a CRMA
Maine only accepts CRMA or CNA-M certificates, and CRMA certificates are not valid in other states
After enrollment is confirmed, students are contacted and given access to our MedPro Maine Staff Skills Lab, with all materials and instructions needed to prepare for course training, prior to meeting with the instructor for hands-on practice and exam.
