A required training mandated by “The Code of Virginia (Section 54.1-3408). The MAT Program trains and certifies Virginia child day program providers and private school employees to safely give medications to children (ages infant through high school graduation) in their care.
As a pediatric nurse for over 20 years, fourteen years of which as staff at the Children’s Hospital of King’s Daughter, Norfolk, VA, I feel that this certification contributes to maintaining the safety of our children in their care.
