PMAT/Prof Dev Hours
 

With allergies and asthma being very common medical action plans, it would be beneficial if PMAT covered both Benadryll (almost always asked to be administered prior to an epipen) and inhalers.  If this were the case, it would be practical for me to have each and every teacher trained in PMAT.

In addition, with the cost for the courses needing to come out of my professional development budget, it would be cost efective to have professional development hours given for MAT, PMAT, and training in The Daily Health Observation. 

It is difficult to maintain excellent substitutes for coverage in the day school setting.  I do not think that required hours of continuing professional development should be required for these individuals.

Kudos for the simplified medical forms on the website!
