Chapter 45 of Wyoming Medicaid Rule, which governs the Comprehensive and Supports Waivers (DD Waivers), requires that any person providing medication assistance during waiver services must be certified in Medication Assistance Training (MAT) offered through the Division. This training is intended to provide the information necessary to safely support participants with their medication.
Before You Begin:
- This training replaces the train-the-trainer format that was previously available. As current certifications expire, every medication assistant must complete this training to be certified.
- MAT is comprised of 9 training modules.
- You must complete each module and score 80% or higher on the quiz at the end of each module. Once all 9 modules are complete, you will receive a Medication Assistance Training Certificate.
- If you are working in another tab of the browser while you are viewing the training (multi-tasking), this can cause functionality issues with the training – up to and including timing issues and disabled features. Please be sure you are giving your full attention to the training.
- MAT is not currently designed for use on mobile devices, and some functionality issues may occur if you attempt to view the training on tablets or phones. Added functionality for mobile devices will be available in the coming months.
- We are currently working on updates to the presentation, so you will notice a difference in how some of the modules look. Please excuse us during our construction.
- Closed captions are not currently included, although this is a priority in the coming months. If the recorded module is not accessible for a student, they can contact Shirley Pratt at shirley.pratt@wyo.gov for alternate training materials.
- Log in to Adobe Learning Management System. You will need to create an account if you don’t already have one.
- Your user name should be your email address
- You will be required to create a password
- You will need to enter your first name, last name, and month and year of your birth
