Bloodborne pathogens (BBP) are infectious microorganisms which are present in human blood and can cause and spread disease in humans. The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard and the Needlestick Prevention Act of 2000 requires pharmacy employers to develop and maintain an Exposure Control Plan. The plan must be available to pharmacy staff for staff that are at risk for BBP exposures and sharps injuries, and must include initial and annual refresher training.
The risk of BBP exposures and needlestick injuries can occur when having discussion in close proximity of the customer and their family members, during clinical assessments, while administering medications and vaccines, through point-of-care testing, and when handling returns of DMEPOS, and when handling regulated medical waste and sharps disposal containers. and processing them prior to sanitation.
The course will provide the required training and will help pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and support staff how to protect themselves and others, from occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. This includes learning about common routes of exposure, proper sharps disposal, best practices for avoiding exposure, the need for consistent use of PPE, and what to do immediately after being exposed to BBP or a sharps injury.

This comprehensive course offers a deep dive into the intricacies of the human brain, focusing on its roles in memory, cognition, and the regulation of critical bodily functions. Participants will explore the fundamental mechanisms through which the brain manages tasks from thought processes to the regulation of breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure.

The final course in the military culture curriculum outlines the military culture impact on patient care and the health care professional’s role and explains the range of DoD and VA psychological health services. The course also provides information on interpreting military culture knowledge into patient assessment and treatment. Finally, the learner is exposed to the military culture implications of VA/DoD clinical practice guidelines relevant to the care of Servicemembers and Veterans and the strategies for identifying current military culture relevant patient and health care professional resources.

This course offers the learner an explanation on how stress can be either helpful or harmful depending on the nature of the provoking stressor and the availability of resources. The four phases of modern operational deployment cycles is presented in great detail in module 3. The next two modules describe the characteristic operational stressors and the spectrum of operational stress states and outcomes experienced by Servicemembers and their families during each deployment cycle phase.

The course opens with an overview of the differences between the explicit and implicit features of military culture and proceeds to describe the characteristics of implicit military culture. The next module identifies four sources of information about implicit military culture and describes six defining characteristics of warrior ethos. The learner is provided information about the influence of military guiding ideals and values on the lives of Servicemembers and Veterans. The final module offers an overview regarding the connotations of implicit military culture on the health care professional.

This course, sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense, aims to help you understand the role that military culture plays in the lives of those you serve. This course is comprised of four modules. In addition to this course module, other modules are Military Organization and Roles; Stressors and Resources; and Treatment Resources and Tools.
