Training to support the use of PRMs
A series of online education modules have been developed to support the collection and use of PRMs in clinical settings.
The modules were developed in consultation with consumers, clinicians and managers at PRM Program sites. These modules were updated in 2024 for currency.
The education modules have been designed to introduce relevant topics in a quick and engaging way. The modules are free to access on the ACI learning management system.
