In order for participants to become accredited all four modules must be completed. Participants must receive a 100% pass rate in order to proceed to the next module. Upon completion of all modules, participants are then required to make an appointment with an Acute Pain Service Nurse on Pager 1173 for the practical component.

Once the online modules and practical components are complete participants will be fully ARPM accredited.
