Surveyor Workshops
The Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB) is offering a Survey Training Workshop designed to prepare surveyors to implement the 2008 Standards and Guidelines for the Accreditation of Educational Programs in Medical Assisting. The next Workshop will take place at the Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL. on Monday, September 27, 2010.
You will learn how to complete the revised On-Site Survey Report, an Excel Workbook, so you must bring a laptop computer with Excel installed on it, if at all possible. Please note that the documents you will receive will be in Microsoft Office Word and Excel, 2003. These can be opened with Office 2007.
