This course addresses general principles that will help in any medical or surgical specialty, and focuses specifically on concepts and vocabulary related to interpreting for patients who require anticoagulant medications.
Today, many patients are prescribed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), and for these patients, some course content specific to monitoring in the "Coumadin Clinic" may be less relevant. For some patients, DOACs are contra-indicated, and warfarin (Coumadin) with clinic monitoring remains the treatment of choice.
$25 enrollment fee, 2 instructional hours (CCHI and IMIA/NBCMI).
