To meet the demands of the hospitals that will be a part of the SCHEART network, the USC Center for Public Health Preparedness (USC-CPHP) in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) and the South Carolina Hospital Association (SCHA)  sponsored a two-day training and licensing course via satellite broadcast on April 20 and 23, 2007.  We decided to have the training on Friday and Monday to encourage weekend study prior to taking the exam. The USC-CPHP covered the cost of training materials and food.  However, each participant was responsible for the testing fee on April 23rd ($14.00).  This broadcast was accessible in each of the public health regions.  However, the actual viewing locations were determined based on the number of participants registered in each region.

The SCHEART Satellite Broadcast Training/Licensing course was a success, we were able to license 77 out of 85 participants.  So far we have been able to maintain a 90% pass rate however, we are already making changes to our training video to improve those numbers.  Please take a look at your calendars and send us the name and e-mail address of each individual interested in attending a training in your area.  Participants may contact us at 803-978-7570 or e-mail dease@sc.edu.
