The Arctic FASD RTC is recruiting health and allied health care professionals who are interested in becoming FASD trainers. Through attendance at a two-day workshop, health and allied health care professionals will be prepared to provide FASD education and training to their colleagues and communities.
The two-day workshops are based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FASD Competency-Based Curriculum. Supplementing this curriculum, the workshop will offer materials and resources that participants can use to conduct trainings within their own agencies, institutions, and communities.
This workshop will run concurrently with the Comprehensive FASD Workshop; there will be dedicated time set aside for training-related questions and issues.
All participants in the workshop will receive a certificate identifying them as a certified FASD Competency-Based trainer. Continuing education credits are also available.
Please contact the Arctic FASD RTC Project Coordinator, Alexandra Edwards, if you would like more information about the Train-the-Trainer workshops (arcticfasdrtc @ uaa.alaska.edu or 907.786.6381).
