The course will be offered online by the ASMBS starting May 30, 2008. This educational program is designed for nurses who are candidates for the Certified Bariatric Nurse exam. The goal is to provide online training that will enable participants to prepare for the certification exam from home or work.
Mr. Eran Kabakov, Info-Surge CEO commented “We are aware of the time constraints faced by nurses and medical staff in general, this online solution will eliminate the need for travel. We are pleased to be in a position to support the ASMBS by creating and delivering this customized online course. It was designed to be easy to use and highly accessible.”
While there is an increasing need for specialized bariatric personnel, nursing students’ exposure to essential principles of caring for obese patients varies widely in nursing school curriculum. In addition little is written about how to educate practicing nurses about caring for these obese patients. (Ref. - Robert H. Welton. Bariatric Nursing and Surgical Patient Care. December 1, 2006) Info-Surge’s online education system provides unique benefits to the project: custom course structure for bariatric nurses, online access, time and money savings, and the ability to review materials on demand.
