Looking at developing an internship in the attached Skilled Nursing Home Facility to the hospital our Project SEARCH program is located within. My questions is how other Project SEARCH sites have handled the onboarding education to meet regulatory requirements for this type of internship? Our program is located in Minnesota. There is approximately 7 hours of modules for vulnernable adults, abuse prevention and dementia that a standard new employee would complete. Do other Project SEARCH sites do exactly what the standard employee would do for a Project SEARCH internship at the nursing home or have you created a separate training requirement for a Project SEARCH intern that mirrors the standard training?

I am at a hospital in Canada. We completed the on-boarding as a group. I shared the material to an overhead projector and we worked through each module together. We re-did the ones that were a bit harder.

Thank you for his feedback. Currently, the skilled nursing home on-boarding is within a education software program with quizzes at the end of each module assigned. Maybe I could request a PDF of the modules/quizzes needed in order to do the training in-person which works best with many of my interns. Appreciate your response!
