    To start off our pre- conference agenda the longest-running emergency skills course is coming to Tacoma. Birth Emergency Skills Training helps participants build on their core competencies by applying evidence based knowledge to clinical practice. Through the online course followed by an instructor lead hands-on workshop, participants will be able to brush up on emergency birth skills for 3 CEU credits.

    Important Notes: Please register for the class by August 9. We need a minimum of 14 participants to host this class.  The fee paid when registering today pays for the in-person BEST Training ($600), food, and room fees ($100). There will be a separate email to registered participants about a $45 online class fee that must be completed before the in-person training and is NOT included in the registration amount today. More information will be sent out once the class is confirmed. 

    JUA offers a premium discount once every two years for completion of the BEST Emergency Skills Training class. The CE earned applies toward your policy renewal requirements. The cost of the class is applied as a discount to your next year’s premium when you renew your policy.

    If you plan to stay at the hotel for the conference, here is a link for rooms at a discounted rate. These rooms have been reserved for our event and after October 19 the rooms will be released to the public website. https://shorturl.at/Qy7Pm
