• Hold a current certificate in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid that covers the age group(s) to whom you will administer medication

• Successfully complete the OCFS approved SUNY Medication Administration Training (MAT)

• Be able to read in the language in which health care provider instructions and parental permissions are received
