Certified Residential Medication Aide Bridge

Prerequisites and Requirements

CRMA Bridge is the same course as the CRMA Recertification, with the addition of a med pass. To be eligible, students must have a current 24-hour certificate and work at a residential facility that has a Registered Nurse on staff that can oversee the med pass. Port Resources does not offer the med pass service at this time. Course fee is $85; the Recertification portion of the course is currently held in person at our office in South Portland.
