Mandatory In-Service Education
MANUAL 2008

HIGHLAND HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES, PLEASE NOTE: For 2008, Highland Hospital Employees should complete the 2008 Mandatory In-Service Education Program by using the careLearning online program exclusively. Click on the Memo to Highland Hospital Employees for specific instructions.

Strong Memorial Hospital Employees: Please read the memo below as well as the "2008 Strong Health Mandatory In-Service Education Manual." Also listed below is a "Mandatory Competency Questionnaire" for Strong Memorial Hospital with an accompanying "Answer Submission Sheet." You may print the "Answer Submission Sheet" from the Web and after completing the test, give it to your Department Manager/Supervisor for correction and retention as a record of your mandatory competency.

Another option for completing the SMH program is via the online, interactive Blackboard program available through Miner Library. Once you have completed the test, Blackboard automatically scores it, and the results should be printed and given to your Supervisor/Manager. See additional information below.

NOTE: The In-Service Manual and Answer Submission Sheet are online as Adobe Acrobat Files. You will need the Acrobat Reader to view them (many machines already have the Acrobat Reader installed). This software is available FREE from Adobe. If you click one of the links below and your browser doesn't automatically start up the Acrobat Reader, click here to go to Adobe and get the Acrobat Reader.

SMH Staff Working at Off-site or Satellite Locations

Review all relevant topics in the 2008 Strong Health Mandatory In-Service Manual* and answer all relevant questions in the 2008 Off-site Location Mandatory Competency Questionnaire* below. Additionally, staff working only at off-site or satellite locations, for some questions, will need to substitute site-specific information (example, fire/emergency numbers). However, off-site and satellite staff who also come to SMH need to know the SMH specific information as well as the information for their site and other relevant topics.
