    Hi Tracy!

    We just wrapped up ambulatory-specific competencies at my hospital. They included blood pressure, 12-lead EKG, patient safety - suicide 1:1, JACHO readiness and IM injections. 

    Some past competencies I've had were injections, flu swabs, covid swabs, 5 lead EKG, sterile processing, and infection control

    Hi Shalah, would you share the competencies you recently completed and the past ones? That would be incredibly helpful to me :) Tracy

    Hey Tracy, 

    We have "specialized" competencies for our specialty practices that focus on specific procedures they perform. For example, OBGYN has competencies on Methotrexate Administration, Nonstress Tests and Autoclaving. I also have a competency list of all the competencies we have ever done in all our clinics. I am happy to share if you are interested.
