Advancing clinical skills is an essential part of delivering safe, reliable, and patient-centered care. To support that commitment, CEUfast continuously strengthens its course offerings so healthcare professionals have access to the most current, practice-ready education available.
This months new and revised courses highlight several core areas of patient safety and clinical competency, including foundational rhythm interpretation, fall-prevention strategies, diabetes medication management, and emergency preparedness for bioterrorism events. Each update is designed to deepen your knowledge, reinforce critical decision-making skills, and enhance your effectiveness in diverse care settings.
New Course
The Basics of EKG/ECG Interpretation
This course provides a foundational understanding of interpreting electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) rhythms by reviewing normal cardiac anatomy, electrical conduction, and the relationship between waveform components and the cardiac cycle. Learners will gain familiarity with standard lead placements and develop a systematic approach to rhythm interpretation. By the end of the course, participants will be able to distinguish normal from abnormal EKG/ECG findings with greater confidence.
Revised Courses
Patient Safety and Assessment: Safe Use of Assistive Devices
This course provides an essential overview of how falls affect patient safety across community, hospital, and long-term care environments, with an emphasis on proper assessment and safe use of assistive devices. Participants will review common fall risk factors, evidence-based assessments, and strategies to reduce risks associated with mobility aids and wheelchair use. The course also highlights assistive technologies for sensory impairments and emerging innovations that support fall prevention.
Diabetes Medications
Safe and effective diabetes medication management requires a solid understanding of pharmacologic actions, indications, and potential risks. This course equips clinicians with knowledge of insulin and non-insulin therapies, including mechanisms of action, major adverse effects, administration considerations, and key safety warnings. By the end, participants will be prepared to differentiate among medication classes and apply safe practices when administering diabetes treatments.
Bioterrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction
Preparedness for bioterrorism and weapons of mass destruction begins with the ability to recognize potential events and respond using appropriate protective measures. This course reviews key definitions, essential personal protective equipment, decontamination procedures, and the clinical presentations associated with chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear exposures. Learners will also gain an understanding of syndromic surveillance, reporting protocols, and federal resources available to support communities during and after such incidents.
