Emergency Preparedness Course Development

The Ohio Department of Aging (AGE), Quality Initiatives Division is accepting proposals to create and facilitate a 3-course curriculum on Emergency Preparedness for nursing homes for the EXCEL Academy.

As part of the proposal, the vendor will co-facilitate with AGE staff the weekly live webinar modules and participate in the weekly learning community. The content must contain didactic style training, small group scenario-based training activities, and learning community group discussion questions. AGE staff will provide the instructional design of the course content.
