Overseeing the qualifications of medication aides is one of the services of the Unlicensed Health Care Personnel Oversight program. Staff activites include:

• Administering tests throughout the state to people applying for adult care medication aide positions (at no charge to the applicant).
• Updating the Health Care Personnel Registry with the names of those who qualify  and those who meet renewal criteria. Health care employers use the registry during the hiring process.

This service protects North Carolina residents using health care services.
