SUMMARY:Provider Member Webinar: Safety and Medication Concerns Facing Older Drivers Today

We’ll also review older driver safety measures including the risks facing older and potentially unsafe drivers. \nThis session offers 1.5 CEUs for Social Work\, Nursing\, LADC and LMHC.  \nRegister Here! \n  \nPresented by: \nAbby Winter\, Associate Teaching Professor of Pharmacy\, University of Washington\nMichele Ellicks\, Outreach Coordinator\, Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles \n  \nCost: \nFree
